We are excited to announce the School Based Health Center Poster Art Contest! This is a great opportunity for students to get creative while helping raise awareness about the mental and physical health services available through our School Based Health Centers.
Students are invited to design a poster that highlights the importance of health, wellness, and the support available through our school health centers.
Important Dates:
Poster submissions due: Friday, April 3
Winners announced: April 17
We are looking forward to seeing our students’ creativity and how they choose to promote healthy minds and healthy bodies.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you for supporting our students and our School Based Health Centers!


I want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our SchoolStore program! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed.
If your family has not participated, there's still time!
This safe and easy program is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.
Please help now. It really will make a difference.
Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000185088 to show our valued teachers your support.
Thanks
Taft Elementary School
P.S. Family participation is the key to our success, and we are counting on you!

Cada año, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation organiza un concurso de ensayos del Día de San Valentín para estudiantes de kínder a sexto grado. Este concurso les brinda a los niños la oportunidad de escribir sobre algo que aman y enviar su ensayo para tener la oportunidad de ganar un premio. Por favor, entreguen los ensayos a Lincoln City Parks and Recreation antes de la fecha límite designada.


UPDATE! Schedule changed to tomorrow JANUARY 9th, 2026:
Taft Elementary’s new music room is still in progress, and construction is moving along quite well.
We wanted to give families a heads-up that tomorrow morning, JANUARY 9th, 2026, around 7:30 a.m., during our usual student drop-off time and our monthly Donuts with Grown-ups, there will be a large delivery truck and crane on site delivering trusses. This may temporarily impact traffic flow on the road in front of the school.
If you are able to avoid the main drop-off area and use the back parking lot, it would be extremely helpful. We will have additional staff on duty to assist and ensure students arrive at school safely.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Taft Elementary School



Are you interested in being a volunteer at our school? We’re looking for awesome people like YOU to help in lots of different ways! Come share your skills, your energy, and your smile with our students and staff.

Thank you for your consideration,
