McSorley Elementary students saved up their Tiger BEST tickets, which they earn for doing their “BEST” every single day. When a staff member sees a student showing their Tiger BEST, they give the student a ticket. Students saved up their tickets for a chance to pie a teacher in the face... and they chose their principal, Mr. Kronemann!
McSorley Elementary’s Talent Show showcased a wide variety of skills and talents. Great job, Tigers!
Field Day fun was in full swing at McSorley Elementary!
