Happy Assistant Principals Week Mrs. Chapa. TZ Hawks love you ❤️
Thank you Mrs. Ramirez, our librarian, for instilling the love of reading to our students!
Happy Paraprofessional Day! Thank you for all you do for our students.
Our 2nd graders had a WILD time at Gladys Porter Zoo. They had so much fun, but our Hawks were respectful and well-behaved the entire time. We are so proud when we hear from the workers “what kind, well-mannered children”. Yep, that’s TZ 😎
Our cross country team competed today and did an incredible job. Our girls brought home 2nd place overall and the boys took 3rd place. Great job Hawks.
Coach Perales and Coach Valdez are the best!
