☕In an ongoing effort of love, the TCE PTA this year is trying to keep our teachers fed, hydrated, and happy throughout the work day! We recently added a coffee bar to the teachers' lounge and we are getting VERY positive feedback. Can you help us to keep it stocked?! K-Cups, creamers, tea, non-dairy options, we'll take any and all. Just drop off at the front desk or have delivered directly to the school, Mon-Fri.

Did you know that you can celebrate your student's birthday at school with a Celebration Book? The student gets to select a brand new book with Ms. Powell to put into circulation in the TCE Media Center. A certificate is placed on the inside book cover with his or her name on it and then the student gets to be the 1st to check it out! Your child's birthday will be honored and remembered every time a student checks that book out! 📖📚

Such a sweet way to celebrate your child's birthday AND support our media center!
