Briella Rios (3rd Grade) and Jesus Alexander Zuniga Alvarez (4th Grade)
Briella is a true example of what it means to Tiger ROAR! She comes to school each day ready to learn and work hard. Briella always has a positive attitude and is a friend to all. I am so glad Briella is on our team! - (Jennifer Nager - 3rd Grade ELAR Teacher)
Alexander comes in everyday with a great attitude and a go getter heart! He shows his ROARing attitude everywhere he goes, even when no one is looking! I am so proud to be his teacher and cannot wait to see how far he goes! - (Tabitha Spindle - 4th Grade Math Teacher)
Victoria Day, Kim Brower, Kimberly Occhino and Isabel Phillips - Special Education Team
Mrs. Brower, Mrs. Occhino, Mrs. Isabel, and Ms. Victoria have worked extremely hard to kick off the school year by supporting our students, teachers, and families.
Special education scheduling can be incredibly tricky at the beginning of the year, as so many individual needs, services, and required minutes must come together. This incredible team has worked diligently to create a routine that not only meets the needs of every student, but also supports and fosters their learning, growth, and overall well-being.
They are always quick to come to the rescue when a student needs extra social-emotional guidance or support, and they make teachers and parents feel supported along the way as well. Their willingness to help, problem-solve, and advocate for students makes such a meaningful difference on our campus.
It is difficult to put into words just how valuable everything they do is. Each of these individuals brings something special to our school, and together, they make our campus a better place every single day.
Thank you, Mrs. Brower, Mrs. Occhino, Mrs. Isabel, and Ms. Victoria, for all that you do for our students and our school community. We are incredibly grateful for you!
This week, third and fourth grade students at TES celebrated Constitution Week! Under the direction of Mrs. Kellner and Mrs. Listello, they learned about the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. As part of their learning, they prepared a short presentation to recite lines from these important documents. Their presentation was enjoyed by TES students and staff.
Trenton Elementary students spent their first full week of school building relationships with teachers and classmates, practicing Tiger procedures, and most important to our little Tigers, enjoying their new playground. It took many to make this new playground and cover a reality, but Mr. Cannon, Mr. Strickland and Trenton PTO deserve a special thank you for all of their hard work and contributions to give us the perfect place to run and play.

Avia Erwin (4th Grade) and Emari Greer (3rd Grade)
Avia Erwin walks into school with a smile on her face everyday. Her cheerful personality lights up the classroom and helps her peers stay positive. Avia tries so hard everyday and on every assignment. She shows her work, stays focused, asks questions, and even supports her peers when able. She never gives up. Avia continues to grow and I am so proud of her! Avia is a ROARing Tiger! - (Samantha Listello - 4th Grade ELAR, Science and Social Studies Teacher)
I would like to nominate Emari Greer for student of the month. Emari is a great example of a Trenton Tiger. He shows respect not only to the adults on campus, but also to his peers. He is always willing to lend a hand or assist someone in need. I love the kindness and encouragement Emari shows to others. He has a great attitude, and is always willing to try his best. Emari is committed to growing and learning, even when it sometimes gets challenging. His caring heart is a huge part of our classroom culture, and I am so glad Emari is on our team. - (Jennifer Nager - 3rd Grade ELAR Teacher)
Michelle Gimeno, Shelley Cooper and Christina King - Kindergarten Teaching Team
Mrs. King, Mrs. Gimeno, and Mrs. Cooper do an outstanding job with our Little Tigers! They demonstrate an incredible amount of patience and genuine care for each of their students, creating a nurturing and supportive classroom environment.
Kindergarten plays a critical role in fostering a lifelong love of learning, while also introducing important behavioral expectations, and these teachers excel at both. They consistently reinforce ROARING behaviors in a way that is meaningful and impactful for their students.
Beyond building a strong academic foundation, Mrs. King, Mrs. Gimeno, and Mrs. Cooper also prioritize relationships with both students and parents. They communicate effectively with families and emphasize the importance of staying engaged in their child’s education.
For many children, kindergarten is their very first school experience, and these teachers go above and beyond to make that transition positive, not just for the students, but for the parents as well. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment truly make a lasting difference. We are fortunate to have them as part of our team! - (Kelly Dudley - TES Counselor)
Mrs. Cooper teaches us how to add numbers. I really love it when she takes us to PE and recess. (Steven Tormoehlen - Kindergarten student)
I love Mrs. King. I love Reading, and she teaches me words I don't know. (Blake Pittsinger - Kindergarten student)
Mrs. Gimeno teaches us about plants and she let us paint a plate that looks like the Earth for Earth Day. She is the best teacher. (Bella Trevino - Kindergarten student)

TES FEBRUARY STUDENT LEADERS
Jocelyn Abshire and Lyla Barns - 3rd Grade
Jocelyn Abshire is a wonderful role model who truly ROARS like a Tiger. She shows respect not only to adults but to her peers on a daily basis. She treats all students with fairness and compassion. Jocelyn has a great work ethic and always tries her best. Not only does she come to school ready to learn, but is one of the first to encourage and motivate others. Jocelyn holds high expectations for herself, and is someone I can always depend on. I am so glad that Jocelyn is part of our team, and am honored to be her teacher.
If you need someone who is your biggest cheerleader and supporter, Lyla Barnes is the one to find. Not only is Lyla always ready to motive and encourage others, she is an extremely hard worker who holds high standards for herself. I love Lyla's commitment to learning and growing. Lyla takes great pride in everything she does, and has a "never quit" mindset. Her positive energy radiates in everything she does. Not only is Lyla ready to be the best she can be, she is ready to help others find success. I am so glad Lyla is part of our team, and am honored to be her teacher.
