Hope for Autumn Day: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
We are joining with several schools across the district to celebrate Hope for Autumn Day on Friday, September 20. This day is to help bring awareness for childhood cancer. All students and staff members are encouraged to wear yellow or gold to raise awareness. Awareness leads to funding and funding leads to cures! #givehope

Hearing and Vision Screening (Volunteers Needed) September 18th
Parents we are still in need of a few more volunteers. If you are available to help our school, on Wednesday, September 18th then please select the link below to sign up! Thank you. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F44AEAA2CA0FC1-tces7
Snack Pantry
There are many students who attend school each day without a snack. School days can be long, and without a snack, students can potentially be distracted from their learning. We want our students to give their best effort in the classrooms each day. Teachers will selflessly volunteer their personal funds to supply students with snack options. We want to make sure our students do not go throughout the day without a snack.
Recently, our 5th Grade team of teachers decided start a "Snack Pantry" here at TCES. We would like to ask you to consider donating snack items to help us fill our pantry for students. Donated snacks can be sent with your student. There will be a designated area for "Snack Pantry Items" near the main office when we return from the Labor Day holiday. Donated snack items may include but are not limited to, baked chips, fruit snacks, crackers, cereal bars, and etc. We appreciate you and thank you for considering!
