Thank You & Farewell!
 Jean, our crossing guard who has been at the Tobin for 44 years, came by to say “so long” as she heads into retirement. We appreciate all she did for the Tobin community, and we thank her for all her years of keeping our children safe.

Cultural Night 2019: November 6th
 International Night, renamed Multicultural Night, is coming soon – Wednesday, 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.
