Enjoy Our Latest Episode of Taper Talks

In this episode, our 5th grade student reporter interviewed a special guest - his mom and another Taper family, at our first ever Valentine's event - Lunch with a Loved One. Taper students had the opportunity to have lunch with their families at school. Thank you parents for visiting and making this event a huge success. Looks like Taper has started a new Valentines' tradition.
