Tuckahoe is proud of two musicians who have been accepted to music festivals this year: seventh grader, Isabella Lenihan is playing flute in HMEA, a conference selecting students from East End Schools; and eighth grader, Jordan Klinge will be playing Bassoon in SCMEA, Suffolk’s All-County Festival. Congratulations, Isabella & Jordan! Tuckahoe’s Student Council is sponsoring a “SOUPER BOWL” Food Drive from January 15th to February 3rd. Please donate a non-perishable food item.
