Dear Tyson School Family,
I wanted to share with you all that I got to go to Washington DC last week to be honored and recognized as a National Distinguished Principal! Wow! What an honor that I will never forget. I got to meet 60 other National Distinguished Principals from across our country, got to meet people like US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and others from the US Dept of Education, and many other awesome experiences. But to be honest, I feel that this is OUR award and recognition! It takes all of us working together to be the best we can be for our students and all of our school family. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I will write more about this experience soon, but wanted to share this experience with you now as I am so proud of all of us and proud to be a Tyson Tiger. Thank you again.
Shelly Poage, Proud Principal

Fifth graders at Tyson Elementary School learned about the ecosystem at Lake Fayetteville. They went on a hike where they saw various producers and consumers. The beautiful Blue Heron was out for all to see as well as two large copperhead snakes! Watch your step! They looked for evidence of humans as well. The students got to use dip nets to collect organisms from the creek. Once back at the science center, students took turns using a plankton skimming net to collect microscopic organisms from the lake water. They then Identified various phytoplankton as well as zooplankton. 🤓
Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Pruitt led an optional professional learning session on interactive and shared writing for other teachers. This is another reason we love our school. #THEChoice #launchintolearning
