Camp Beckett Recap

kids playingWe made it back from Camp Beckett tired but filled with memories!!!! Our 4th and 5th graders had an amazing time last week at Camp Beckett in Western Mass.

We want to thank the staff who made this trip possible for our students. They gave up their homes for a couple of days so the students could have this amazing experience.

Cultural Night 2019

familyDear Friends,

International Night, renamed Multicultural Night, is coming soon – Tuesday, November 6th – and we're looking forward to putting together another year of fantastic Activity Tables. Last year was absolutely amazing. So many Tobin parents and teachers commented positively on the number of volunteers manning Activity Tables and how moving it was to see such diverse cultures proudly shared.

Would you like to be part of this event? If so, please contact [email protected].
