Today we celebrated our amazing 3rd graders and all they have accomplished this school year! 🎉❤️
From growing as reader and mathematicians to showing perseverance, kindness, and determination each day, these students have worked incredibly hard and made us so proud. Third grade is such an important year of growth, and our students rose to every challenge with courage and confidence.
Whether they were mastering multiplication, strengthening their reading skills, solving problems, or supporting one another, our 3rd graders showed just how much they are capable of achieving.
We are so proud of our 3rd graders and all the growth they have made this year. ❤️

As this school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank Mrs. Stacia Werner for her dedication, leadership, and love for the Tavares Elementary family over the past four years.
For the last three years as principal, Mrs. Werner has been a proud Bullpup leader, a constant cheerleader for our students, and a source of encouragement for our staff and families. Her passion for students and commitment to our school community have made a lasting impact that will not be forgotten.
While we are sad to see her leave the Bullpup family, we are excited for her as she begins a new chapter at another school in Lake County. We know she will continue to inspire students and staff wherever she goes.
Mrs. Werner, thank you for the countless ways you have supported, celebrated, and inspired our Bullpups. You will always be part of the Bullpup family. ❤️🖤
