Annual Community Welcome Cookout

Dragon Drop Stories  September 14, 2026

Saturday’s Community Cookout was a wonderful reminder of what makes a school feel like a community.

With over 600 people in attendance, families filled the campus for an afternoon and evening of water games, inflatables, softball, shared food, and plenty of conversation. Children played while new families met people and returning families reconnected.

At TCIS, being known extends beyond the classroom. We want every family to find familiar faces, build real relationships, and feel that they have a place here. Gatherings like this give those connections room to grow.

Our theme was “Together, We Move Forward” – and on Saturday, we saw that spirit throughout our campus.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, helped make the evening possible, and contributed to such a warm sense of belonging.
