Tauscher Times 4.14.26

Dear Roadrunner,

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Tauscher Times.

This week is all about staying focused on what’s right in front of us, including finishing strong, keeping standards high, and continuing to build momentum in the areas that matter most. Whether it’s in the classroom, in our work, or at home, the goal remains the same: show up, do the work, and leave it better.

There’s a lot happening right now. From senior night events (beach volleyball, tonight!) to the electives showcase and Prom, this is the time of year where consistency matters more than anything else. The small things including being prepared, following through, and supporting one another are what will make the biggest difference.

As we chase being the Best Small School in the East Valley, we are focused on our incremental progress. It is one decision, one conversation, one action at a time!
