TES Family Updates

Happy Thanksgiving, Miner Bee Families!

Just a reminder that we do not have school next week so everyone can observe the Thanksgiving Holiday. If you are leaving town, we wish you safe travels. We hope you enjoy your time with family and friends!


When we return to school on August 28th, we are excited to share our December focus of Paying it Forward in the community. Be on the lookout for details in the December 2nd Miner Bee Messenger!


Enjoy your Thanksgiving break!
