The Toro Sign
At Tarwater, the students, staff and parents use this hand sign (pictured above) during the school song. Also used in many classrooms to signal a time to be quiet (students stay quiet, and raise their hand with the Toro sign to show they are listening). Often used by students outside of class (grocery store, etc.) to say “Hi” to their fellow classmates at a distance. It’s very cute to see the bond and connection these students have and the pride they have in their school. Parents are encouraged to use this sign, also. Go Toros!
