A message from our Principal, Mrs. Hennelly…….

C.F. Tigard kindergarten teacher Karen Schmidtmann was one of 1,000 teachers nationwide surprised on Oct. 4 by a gift of $1,000 in classroom supplies from Office Max’s “A Day Made Better” program.  The classroom supplies, which included a printer and digital camera, came from Office Max’s Dartmouth Rd. store in Tigard.  In addition, the school received an additional 20 paper boxes filled with supplies donated by the stores’ customers. Karen Schmidtmann was nominated for this recognition because of her dedication to her students and the support she provides for the entire C.F. Tigard staff.

One more reminder to send your updated registration forms to school.  We will be creating a list with your e-mail addresses so that we can send you information about CFT electronically.  We will soon be sending the Wildcat Chat to your e-mail address.
