HUGE congratulations to one of Tuttle’s very own, Anna J.  This past weekend Anna competed in the 2026 North Carolina State Bullseye Tournament.  With her personal best score of 276, she walked away with a 3^rd place finish in the state for middle school girls.  For sixth grade girls in NC, she placed 1^st of 72.  Of all female archers at the state tournament, Anna finished in the top 10 of over 450 archers.  Anna is a student of Tuttle, but as a 6^th grader competes on the middle school level with Maiden Middle School.  

Anna, Tuttle is so proud of you!  

Congratulations to Emiliano!  He won 2^nd place in the Catawba Soil and Water Conservation District poster competition!  We are so proud of the effort you put into this project.  We appreciate the way you represented Tuttle and make a difference!  

Our student council members took the lead in spreading kindness this week by creating treat bags for the amazing Student Resource Officers in Catawa County Schools.  This small gesture was a heartfelt way to say THANK YOU for the safety, mentorship, and care that our SROs provide to our students and staff each day.  We are grateful for their commitement to our school community and the postive impact they make beyond the badge.  

We appreciate you today and every day! 

Our 3^rd graders have been studying idioms.  They had “Idiom Day” where they brought idioms to life with creative costumes.  The teachers even joined in the fun.  

Our Terrapins kicked off the 3D Archery Tournament season this weekend.  

Congrats to Maddie for placing 3^rd at the 2026 Trojan Country Shootout! 

We hosted our third Rise & Read event on Friday, March 6, 2026.  

Classrooms acorss our school started the day with a shared story, special guest readers and lots of excitement.  We all read “Nellie’s Big Splash” about a baby sea turtle who overcomes her fear of the ocean to join her brothers and sisters. 

Moments like these remind us that reading brings people together.  Thank you to our amazing guest readers who helped make this event so special for our students.  

Four of our 6^th grade students participated in the Catawba County Elementary All-County Chorus.  They worked for several weeks prior on the music.  On Friday, March 13, 2026 Ari, Giana, Peyton and Kasen came together with students from all over Catawba County to rehearse with clinician and conductor, Sally K Albrecht.  At 6:30 pm that evening, they presented a concert.  The concert was amazing.  

Thank you students for representing Tuttle so well!  We are so proud of you! 

Tuttle Elementary School’s Music Ensemble recently showcased their dedication and talent in a special combined concert on Monday, March 23, 2026. Joining forces with students from Balls Creek Elementary, Maiden Elementary, and Murray Elementary, this impressive group featured over 100 student musicians.

Since January, students have committed to after-school rehearsals, building their skills and preparing for this collaborative performance. After just one hour of rehearsal together on the day of the concert, these young musicians came together to deliver an outstanding performance.

Their hard work, focus, and enthusiasm were evident throughout the concert. We are incredibly proud of their commitment and the exceptional job they did representing Tuttle Elementary!

Special thanks to the Bandys Band Alumni Association for providing pizza for our students before the performance! 

Help us celebrate Ms. Mejia for being named Beginning Teacher of the Month for Catawba County Schools!

Ms. Mejia brigns incredible energy, positivity, and heart to our school.  We are lucky to her as part of the Tuttle family.  

Some of our 5^th & 6^th grade students participated in a speech contest recently.  They knocked it out of the park with their thoughts about the importance of setting a goal.  

Congratulations to Mariana who will represent Tuttle at the district competition next month.
