President's Message
Good Day TAPPA Members!

I hope your summer is going well and you had a good 4th of July holiday and weekend. Honestly, it is hard to believe it is already July and the Fall start up is right around the corner. Even though summers are a good time of reflection for the prior year, they tend to also be busy with the maintenance, projects, or other needs not able to be attended to during the regular school year. I wish you all the best getting everything complete and ready on time!
