Greetings Terrapins!
Gratitude paints little smiley faces on everything it touches.
-Richelle E. Goodrich
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I am especially thankful for our TCES School Family and Community. I am grateful for our students and their dedication to learning. I am grateful to our teachers and support staff for their innovative problem-solving, flexibility, and commitment to our students. I am grateful to you, our TCES families, for the ongoing support of our students and instructional program. We know it isn't easy and we could not do it without you.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Lindsay Brenfleck
