"Back to Football" Friday Event

On Friday, September 9th, Tanglewood Elementary participated in Back to Football Friday which was a nationwide campaign to celebrate the return of football and help tackle childhood obesity! The NFL and United Way asked schools across the country to show their passion for the NFL and motiviating kids to be healthy for a chance to win exciting prizes.

Tanglewood had many exciting activites throughout the day, including a Flash Mob and a touchdown dance competition! We even transformed our cafeteria into a real-life tailgate with healthy food choices for the students.

Check out our video of the Flash Mob below, as well as pictures from this awesome event!

Our Program

Thanks for visiting the Tanglewood Elementary School website. Tanglewood Elementary School is home to the second and third graders of the Central Community School System. This year our enrollment has increased to over 600 students.

The Tanglewood faculty, along with parents and community work together to provide a safe and orderly environment in which all students demonstrate self-discipline and respect for themselves and others. Through a variety of innovative programs and events, Tanglewood students benefit by approaching things by the book…as well as out of the box. We believe that the partnership between parents and school is an integral part of our school community. We not only encourage parent involvement, we NEED it! As partners, we share the common goal of nurturing each growing and developing child and giving each student the greatest head start in the world.

September: Coming Soon
School Hours: 8:20-3:15
