Terrapin Tidbits
SY21 TCES Family Issue #4

September 7, 2020
Hello Terrapins,
We did it! Our virtual launch to the 2020-2021 school-year was a success. We embraced opportunities to problem-solve together for our students. We recognize that we would not have met the success we did without your support. Thank you. We look forward to continued learning and improvement in the coming weeks.
Kind regards,
Lindsay Brenfleck
