He shared all the GREAT things happening right here at Booth-Fickett, highlighting the incredible work of our students, staff, and community. What an exciting opportunity to showcase our school and connect with educators who are passionate about culturally responsive teaching and learning!

On February 20, Pete the Cat stopped by to read with our students! From the moment he walked in, the excitement was contagious. Our students listened closely, laughed out loud, and fully embraced the joy of reading together. Experiences like this help build positive reading identities and reinforce that books are meant to be fun!

Cameron Manjarre, Fifth Grade Teacher at Booth Fickett Math and Science K8 School, attended the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl as an Extra Yard for Teachers recipient!
Mr. Manjarre was recognized on the field during the Dec. 27, 2025 bowl game, honoring his dedication to students and the lasting impact he makes in the classroom every day. As part of this recognition, he also received $1,000 for his classroom to support his work with students.

Congrats, Mr. Manjarre! Thank you for always going the extra yard for our students and representing TUSD and Booth Fickett with pride.

 

Our campus was buzzing with excitement as the Palo Verde High School Band joined us for a surprise lunchtime performance! Our K–8 students loved the energy, school spirit, and incredible talent these musicians brought to our campus. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Falcons to see what awaits them in high school—and maybe even inspire some future band members!

A huge thank you to the Palo Verde Band for sharing their time, talent, and school pride with our community.
