John G. Tower Elementary

Our FIrst Graders' beautiful voices can be heard this morning as they practice for our Veterans Day program, under the direction of wonderful Mrs Vivio!

There will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, as we honor and recognize our veterans for their service and sacrifice.

"Joy" in the gym: square dancing, balloons, balls and the happy smiles of making memories at "Movement with Moms!"

Here's the 2nd batch of photos from Movement with Moms! Day two will be tomorrow!

Thanks to all the Moms who came to "Movement with Moms today!" Here are some photos from today!

Our 1st graders had the BEST time on their field trip to Snider Family Exotics! 🐾🦎🐢 We got to pet, feed, and interact with so many amazing animals while learning all about them! There were lots of smiles, laughter, and exciting hands on experiences. The kids loved getting up close with the animals and making memories with their classmates! ❤️ What a fun day full of learning, exploring, and unforgettable experiences! We are so thankful for this opportunity! 🐒🦜🐍

Good afternoon Tower Families!
Beginning tomorrow, and for one week, our 5th Grade Unified Buddies will be collecting $$ for the Midwestern State University "Fantasy of Lights" Christmas lights display. If you are new to the area, the "Fantasy of Lights" is a a massive, free annual holiday light and animated display, hosted on the campus of Midwestern State University! It is a "must-see" family night out! Midwestern State University does so much for our school (just last week their football team came to Tower) and our 5th graders want to "give back," by helping them keep the lights on to the many beautiful displays! Please give generously. The 5th graders will be collecting with buckets in the morning arrival drop off areas. Thank you!

Dear Tower Parents and Guardians,

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Picture Retake Day! 📸

Congratulations to October's Staff Step Challenge winners: Mr. Tanner at 447,798 steps and Mrs. Gilliam at 416,536 steps! Keep setting that great example for us all!

Happy Halloween from the fourth and fifth grade leaders of our amazing school!

We are excited for the upcoming Veteran’s Day program on Nov. 10th to celebrate these Veterans and so many more at Tower! Thank you to Mrs. McWhorter and our Brave Heart Club students for helping to put together these beautiful posters! Thank you, Mrs. Vivio for all of your very hard work and preparing for what will be a memorable event for our students and families!

Red Ribbon Week in Mrs. Morris' class plus our amazing 2nd grade teachers, who are truly Superheroes!

Halloween FUN = fabulous memories!

MSU football players visited Tower Elementary to share an important message with our Bulldogs: have a good attitude, be respectful, and make positive choices every day!

Thank you to these athletes for taking the time to encourage our students and remind them that character matters on and off the field!

Best day ever! The MSU Football Team talked with Tower students about the importance of a positive attitude, being respectful and working hard during their time here this morning! Add in a bunch of FUN and smiles to the mix, and it added up to a perfect morning on the Tower field!

Treat time in Mrs. Rucker's class!
