It seems that in October 2017, teacher Carolena Saunders had her then 5th grade English students write notes to future Tandemites. They were then placed in a plastic pencil box and secured to the underside of the newly constructed deck outside of the Middle School Building. This week, in May 2026, some 5th/6th grade students spotted this "foreign object" and worked diligently to find out what it was. Once opened, teacher and class discovered the notes, some starting to disintegrate a bit. They quickly brought them to the Main Building, where Todd Love carefully scanned the historic messages shared from Carolena and these members of the TFS Class of 2025: Grace, Emma, Z, Archie, Alex, Murray, Riley, Desiree, William, Orro, Natalie, Maggie, Cullen, Chloe, Eli, and Linwood. The notes are very positive and optimistic!
