DANCE-A-THON
Today begins DANCE-A-THON! This is PTO's greatest fundraiser of the year. The goal is to raise $25,000 to fund playground improvements, including replacing the existing mulch with new virgin rubber mulch, installing two teacher benches and a student "Buddy Bench," and adding a larger shade canopy. PTO does amazing things for TeSA, and this is the perfect time to get involved to help make a difference.
Look for the flier in your student's binder with more information and tell your friends and family to make their pledges online at: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/dat2022.
For more information of how to get involved with DANCE-A-THON and other PTO events, come to the PTO meeting on Friday or email President Jessica Wazniak at jrwozniak@gmail.com.
Artistically & Academically Yours,

Safety Concerns- Carline & School Check-In
As a reminder, all adults must have a legal picture ID to check in the school building. Please alert any other family members that may come to eat lunch or check out your child, so they are prepared. This year, adults must also check-out when leaving. Thank you for planning for these few extra minutes before and after every visit!
