Join the READVolution
WCPSS has partnered with the Carolina Hurricanes to support reading among elementary students and we need your support. As a part of the Readvolution Reading Challenge, elementary schools reporting a collective 2,020 books or more read by Jan. 12, 2018 will be entered into a drawing for a field trip to the PNC arena. In addition, students who have read at least 20 minutes per day (Monday through Friday) outside of the classroom will receive a voucher for a ticket to a Canes game. Keep Reading!!! You are doing great

Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
We just received a check for $773! Good work Turner Creek!
The next Box Tops submission date is March 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 3/1/2018 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.

WE NEED YOU!
Would you like to be an active volunteer, but don’t want to get in over your head? We have the PERFECT solution! Volunteer to be a Board Intern! This position gives you access to learn about each different board position, as well as an opportunity to learn what each of the chair positions do. The best part is YOU decide when, where and how you want to help.
It’s a perfect place to start, because the time commitment is as much or as little as you’d like, and you get an inside look at all the PTA does. Parents like YOU make ALL the difference!
We have 2 positions to fill, so don’t be shy.
Please email president@tce-pta.org for more information.
