TCE THUNDERBOLTS PLAYERS!
“Em Benz” (Mrs. Emily Bennett) currently attends St. Johns River State College with plans on transferring to Flagler College in the fall. She has been playing basketball since the age of 2 when her dad, “The Enforcer,” introduced her to the game. She was offered a contract by the Golden State Warriors but turned it down to work at her church.
The Enforcer
“The Enforcer” (Mr. Gene Bennett) is a University of North Florida graduate. He has demonstrated his basketball skills on the basketball courts of St. Johns County for over the 40 years. During this time span, he has played countless games of “21” and “Horse.” In addition to his nickname “The Enforcer” for his tendency to foul anyone within three feet of him, he is also known as “The Legend in His Own Mind.”
The Thrilling Thirders
Long ago, in a town very close by here, lived five individuals who aspired one day to become basketball players on an elementary team. These five players – otherwise known as “The Thrilling Thirders” – reunited, and it felt sooooo goooood!
“The Dribblerrrrr” (Ms. Rachel Latta) hails from Keystone and is known for her amazing dribbling skills. Her hand-eye coordination beats no other.
“The Grannyshooter” (Ms. Alecia Manning) hails from Orange Park AKA “the OP.” She is known for her granny style shots. No other granny comes close.
“Miss RaRa” (Ms. Nikki Marabel) hails from Ponte Vedra Beach. She’s known for her cheerleading moves while playing defense.
“The Dunkerrrr” (Ms. Susie Ament) hails from the best side: The West Side. She is known for her crazy dunking skills.
“The Shooter” (Ms. Beth Searcy) hails from DUuuuuuuuuuuuvalllllllllllll. She is known for her sharp shooting skills.

PTO Needs Your Talent!
We are already looking ahead to next school year and have found that we have a few positions that we will be opening up this summer and in the fall. Now is the perfect time to start shadowing the people who hold these positions this year so you can have a head start and be well on your way to success in the fall. Keep in mind that none of these positions require you to be the lead for the remainder of this school year. This is just an opportunity to work closely with the current chair and learn the ropes.
AVAILABLE POSITIONS
New Family Welcome Social Chair
Assistant Treasurer
Business Partner Marketing Manager
Mother/Son Event Chair
Family Fundraiser Event (Wizards) Chair
Family Fun Night Chair

Did you know ...?
- When you are volunteering for a PTO event or simply helping out your teacher, art supplies are available in each of the houses, volunteers should always check the house supplies before going to the Art room for supplies. If you visit the Art room, please coordinate with the teacher.
- Teachers are always available to parents/guardians, and they love your help! However, if you are coming in to assist the school in other areas, please respect their instructional time and do your best to not disrupt them. If you would like to visit the classroom, it is always best schedule the visit with your student's teacher so that everyone can prepare.
