Tildenville Elementary School Community Brief
Friday, December 16, 2022

Dear Mark,
Here we are already on the last day of the second nine-week quarter, the last day of the first semester, and the final school day of 2022. These past few months have passed so quickly. I know we are all looking forward to an exciting new year ahead in 2023!
As we get ready for the 2022-2023 winter break, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our teachers and staff at Tildenville Elementary School. We are so honored to have such a brilliant team that puts students first and gives their very best efforts each school day. In our great country, the K-12 schools are truly national assets thanks to the hard work of educators and support staff like you find here at Tildenville.
Also, we are so grateful for our Tildenville parents plus a fiercely dedicated PTA who have been so supportive and dedicated to education. It is evident that our families know very well that Tildenville Elementary is truly among the finest elementary schools in Orange County and this is due, in no small part, to the commitment from our community. Thanks to Tildenville's active parent involvement combined with the PTA's ongoing month-to-month support, our students and teachers have an added edge throughout the school year that many schools elsewhere may not.

Please take time during this break to rest, relax and get motivated for a new year knowing that we are closing out 2022 with success and momentum. We will see students back on campus Wednesday, January 4th when we begin our third quarter!
Again, thank you for a wonderful first half of the school year and we look forward to an amazing 2023!!
Season's Greetings,
Agathe Alvarez
Proud Principal

Holiday Shoppe brought a festive and fun shopping experience to the school! Tigers were able to purchase gifts for family and friends. Students practiced their money-math skills and learned important lessons about budgeting, decision-making and ultimately, about the gift of giving to others.
