Dear Terraset Families,

The past week has been so amazing! Many of our Tiger’s art has been on display at the Reston Community Center for the annual South Lakes Pyramid Youth Art Exhibit, and we have been gearing up for 2 great Terraset events: Our STEAM night this Thursday, March 19th and our annual Terraset PTO 6th Grade Basketball Challenge on Thursday, March 26th at South Lakes High School! Please see below for all the details.

We also have a couple of schedule changes for the remainder of this week to remind everyone about:

Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18th is our next early release Wednesday. Students will follow their typical Wednesday dismissal routes unless a change in dismissal form was submitted by no later than last Friday, March 13th. It will be very difficult to navigate dismissal changes on the 18th. Our priority is to get every Tiger home safely at the correct time.
This Friday, March 20th is a holiday for all students and staff. Eid Mubarak to those in our Muslim community celebrating! In Islam, Eid al-Fitr is a 3 day festival to mark the end of Ramadan. Muslims dress in new clothes, give charity, and pray in congregation. Eid is celebrated with the exchange of presents and delicious food with family and friends. Additionally, Nowruz Mobarak to all who celebrate! Nowruz, meaning “New Day,” is a more than 3,000-year-old spring festival marking the first day of the new year at the vernal equinox. Rooted in ancient Persian civilization, it is widely celebrated as the national new year in Iran and Afghanistan and across many Central Asian nations. Families welcome the new season with festive meals, gift-giving, and the beautiful tradition of the Haft-Seen table, filled with symbols of new life and renewal.

Warmly,

Katie Aldridge, Principal

Dave Ickowski, Assistant Principal
