Thunderbolt Elementary

We want to give a BIG shoutout and thank you to the Fleming Island High School Girls Volleyball Team and Brooke Thomas, from Hibernia Baptist Church, for organizing and carrying out a back-to-school clean-up and weeding of our playgrounds!

Thanks to the hard work of these ladies and that of our phenomenal custodial team, our school grounds are looking top notch and ready for all of our Jets!!

🗓️❤️ Here’s your PFA Event Calendar! Please note—dates/events are subject to change. Your Thunderbolt PFA is made up of just 12 volunteer parents, and we can’t do it all alone. 🫶We need your help to make these events successful! Without volunteers, some events may be cancelled. Please consider stepping up to support your child’s school! 💙 We’re a friendly bunch and always appreciate any time you can give. Sometimes it’s as simple as helping with setup or cleanup at events. ✨ Examples ✨ Boosterthon: We'll need volunteers to make and serve shaved ice for students. Last year, PFA members were at school all day doing this—if we can split into shifts, it would make a huge difference! Fun Run Popsicles: Super easy! Head to the P.E. locker room, grab popsicles, snip the tops, and pass them out to kids wearing a TBE shirt. There will be a sign-up-genuis posted for you to sign up. Thank you in advance for helping us make this year amazing for our Thunderbolt students! 💥 Be sure to stop by the PFA booth at Orientation to: ✔️ Pay your membership dues 👕 Purchase a spirit shirt 🙋‍♀️ Sign up to volunteer

We had a wonderful first day back!! Thanks to the hard work of our amazing custodial team, Thunderbolt is sparkling and ready for another fabulous year.

We are hard at work planning and prepping for the return of our scholars. "Great Minds Grow at Thunderbolt Elementary!" 🧠🪴🌷☀️
