Your PTO has a fun, new family event for the spring: Harlem Wizards! Come out and for some high-flying entertainment and fun with your family, friends, classmates, and neighbors! This is like a Broadway show on a basketball court.
Tickets are ON SALE NOW! Visit the Harlem Wizards Ticketing page to purchase your tickets today. Watch for more updates on the TCE PTO Facebook event page.
TCE THUNDERBOLTS PLAYERS!
Introducing two more Terrific TCE Thunderbolt team members:
“The Sharpe Shooter"
Mr. Zac Sharpe is originally from South Bend, IN, and is a beast on the ba...sketball court! He was recruited by powerhouse schools such as Duke and North Carolina. However, he chose a different path, attending Indiana University. To everyone’s surprise, he decided against playing basketball and pursued teaching instead. He has been waiting for a stage like this to showcase the talent he abandoned so many years ago.
"Ballin’ Bevy"
Mrs. Bevy Slopey hails from the island of Puerto Rico. She is the product of a world renowned soccer player from Argentina and a two time world champion bowler from Russia. She was born with the raw talent of a Kobe Bryant and has the work ethic of a third shift stock boy. Her dribbling skills are reminiscent of Iverson, and she’s as pure a shooter as Curry. The Wizards will not know what hit them when she unleashes the beast within. To be honest, I’m not sure she’ll return to work Monday, as she will most likely be practicing for her new position as the new point guard for the Wizards.
TCE PTO Seeks Lodging for the Harlem Wizards Team
Do you have a rental house or condo in the Saint Augustine area that you would be willing to donate or rent to the PTO? Do you have a hotel connection or points you would be willing to donate?

PTO Needs Your Talent!
We are already looking ahead to the 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
Father/Daughter Dance Co-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.
