Happening in the Beehive...

Welcome to a new school year at TMSE! I am so excited to start our SIXTH year, and I am so glad to have your family as part of the adventure!

Learning to Be IB!

At TMSE, we are working hard to become IB Learners. The qualities of an IB Learner include: reflective, open-minded, thinker, inquisitive, risk-taker, knowledgeable, communicator, principled, caring, and balanced. Throughout the school year, we work to build these qualities in all learners, knowing that all students already display many of these qualities. We want them to know it, too!

We are a National Blue Ribbon School!

WOW! What an amazing day at TMSE. This afternoon, it was announced that we have achieved recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School!! Last spring, we were one of 5 Alabama schools nominated by state superintendent Tommy Bice. We worked on the application last spring, hoping to do justice to all of the incredible things that make TMSE a unique place to learn and grow. Today, Mrs. B announced to the school that we were recognized! This year, just over 300 hundred schools in 47 states were recognized. 

It is so difficult to put into words how TMSE has challenged and changed me over the last six years. I am so honored and so proud to be part of this school. I have learned that I am truly a mermaid, and TMSE is the place for me. I'm so glad it's the place for your family, too. 

Congratulations will certainly be heard for the school, but I want to say congratulations to YOU. Six years ago, lots of families took a chance on a brand new idea in Tuscaloosa. Six years later you are here, and are absolutely essential to why this beautiful school family works. I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach your child in this place. 

We will all celebrate soon, so be on the lookout for more news in the coming weeks. Tell your friends, tell your family...WE ARE A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL! I really just want to shout it from the rooftops.
