Dear Tambark Creek Families,

On behalf of the PTSA, I want to welcome every student, parent, and staff member to another exciting year at Tambark Creek Elementary. Our PTSA is more than a parent group—it is a network of people committed to ensuring that every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

This year, our focus is on building deeper connections and expanding opportunities for all students, while continuing to partner closely with teachers and staff to make our school the best it can be. Whether you contribute your time, ideas, or resources, your involvement makes a tangible difference.

Together, we can create a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant community. I invite you to join us, get involved, and help us amplify our impact beyond the classroom.

Warm regards,
Omnia Elgoodah
President, Tambark Creek Elementary PTSA
