Staff Spotlight on our amazing Destination Imagination coaches, Mrs. Fitzhugh and Mrs. Foster! A colleague nominated them for a Shining Star Award for their tireless efforts with the DI teams: hours upon hours of practice, weekends, and energy poured into the teams!
The DI students say that these ladies "are really motivating," "devote so much time," "help students through hard times," and "support us through it all."
Thank you, Mrs. Fitzhugh and Mrs. Foster, for offering this great opportunity to our students!
Our acceptance letters have all gone out! We would love to see posts of new Lady Warriors here with their banners or letters. We cannot wait to welcome them home to Talkington School for Young Women Leaders.

Talkington families,
This is a reminder that students may be dropped off in the morning beginning at 7:15am and should be picked up in the afternoon no later than 5:45pm. We have had students arriving before 7:00am recently and others not picked up until after 6:00pm, and we only have provisions for supervision between 7:15am and 5:45pm. Thank you for your attention to this safety concern.
