Pennies for Patients Fundraising Campaign
Student Council will be collecting donations for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society from April 18-25th through our Pennies for Patients fundraiser! If you would like to learn more about where our donations are going, check out this video: https://youtu.be/8PluE1SoNmw
All students will bring home a small box to collect their donations in and bring back to school any time between now and April 25th. There is also an option to donate online at this website:http://events.lls.org/pages/in/ThorpeCreekElementarySchool-2019
To celebrate the start of our campaign, we will have a hat day on Friday, April 19th!! All students may wear hats to school that day and are encouraged to donate $1.
We are looking forward to seeing what a difference our “Thorpe Creek Squad” can make in the lives of so many superheroes!
Sincerely,
TCE Student Council

Plastic Baggies
Hi TCE Cardinals!
Did you know that bringing reusable containers for your daily snack and in your lunchbox is better than using plastic baggies? We have learned that plastic
baggies take 500-1,000 years to decompose. We are recycling the plastic baggies, but bringing a reusable container is better for the Earth! Try to use more
reusable containers than plastic baggies.
Thank you for helping us change the world by reducing one plastic baggie at a time!
