Backpacks, lunchboxes, and other supplies are available through SchoolToolBox as well. ALL KITS and other merchandise will be shipped to your home address rather than to TCE as in past years.
To get started:

- Enter Turner Creek Elementary when it asks for your child's school to see the list of school kits for each grade level
Please note: Pricing of Kits DOES NOT include a magazine subscription or agenda if applicable. These items will still need to be purchased through the PTA at Meet the Teacher or during first week of school for an additional cost.
PTA Needs YOU!
Thanks to some awesome parent volunteers, we have filled the kindergarten lunches, building and grounds, STEM Club, and talent show positions!
We have a few positions left to fill for the upcoming school year, so please consider volunteering your time to help our PTA provide awesome programs and experiences for our students:
-Our United Arts/ Cultural Arts Chair position seeks one or two volunteers to help plan and organize programs who visit our school such as actors, artists, musicians, and dancers. This important position enhances our students learning about arts, culture, and more! This requires grant writing and a mandatory training session provided by the NC PTA. If someone from TCE doesn't attend the training, we are ineligible to receive grant funding to support these beneficial programs in our school. PTA Training is done in July. Chairs also attend a fair of vendors offering programs and get to help choose from approved vendors who visit our school. This position can be done mostly from home and during set times of the year depending on the artists schedules. Someone who loves the arts may enjoy what this position offers:) Our PTA would be thankful to have 1-2 volunteers who step forward this May, so they can receive training and have the support of the current chair prior to the completion of this school-year.
Anyone who would like to be considered by our nominating committee for a position on our PTA board, please pick up an application in the office and return it by May 18th. After May 18th, candidates will be notified of results and our Nominating Committee will ask current PTA members to place their vote to accept the nominated board. PTA members are invited to vote for our upcoming board on Tuesday, May 29th between 3-4 pm at a designated table in front of the office of TCE. Anyone wishing to make a nomination from the floor will need to arrive by 3 pm to be placed on the ballot. The voting process is quick and easy and likely will take only 5 minutes of your time, but helps support our PTA by allowing us to plan for our upcoming school-year once these volunteers are secured in their position. Please direct any nomination questions to: lauriesingh3@gmail.com

Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
We just earned $335 from Box Tops for Education! The next Box Tops submission date is November 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 11/1/2018 and beyond). The Box Tops collection bin is located in the TCE lobby across from the main office.
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they quickly add up to real cash for our school. Here is a link showing participating Box Tops products.
Clip Tyson Project A+ labels from participating Tyson® product packages and send them to school with your child. We’ll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24¢! Please drop your Tyson Project A+ labels in the Box Tops collection bin in the TCE lobby.
Here is a link for a list of participating products.
