The Tracy Staff met at the end of the year in June to Celebrate Tracy's AFG Successes. The Tracy staff received gift bags with items to represent each success. For example, to recognize the "Groundworks" math program, teachers received a pencil. A multicultural writing pad was provided to recognize our appreciation for diversity. To recognize our garden club, a packet of seeds was in the gift bag. The complete list of successes are listed below. Instrumental teachers who worked to acheive these goals are also listed.
