Thank you for donating to the fall-themed staff snack this past week. The treats were delicious!
New Buddy Benches at K-2 & 3-5 Playgrounds
These benches are part of an Eagle Scout project by former TCE student Daniel Hanley. Daniel worked with TCE’s PTA, who wanted to have places for students to sit when they weren’t up for playing on the equipment. The benches are painted in colors of the rainbow so that they can be an inviting place to rest.
Daniel led a team of several volunteers on the project to build and paint the benches and also added some landscaping around the benches to improve the screening between the classrooms and the playgrounds.
Daniel is the son of Turner Creeks Instructional Technology Facilitator Mrs. Wanda Hanley.
