We asked our teachers and staff to share a glimpse of their summer with all of us. ☀️ Mrs. Wyanski enjoyed a round of golf, which she does often in the summer with family and friends. ☀️ We would love to see what our Tamarac students and families are doing this summer. If you’d like to be featured on our website and socials, send a photo and short description to communications@brunswickcsd.org

Silent hallways, student whispers gone,
Echoes of a school year's song.
Lockers closed, and desks now bare,
Memories of the past year linger in the air.
Summer's promise calls away,
Goodbye to friends, if just for a day.
Empty halls, the final bell,
Stories only these Tamarac walls can tell.
Congratulations to all who are retiring this year! Thank you for your dedicated years to our Tamarac community.
