TCE Book Fair is Here!
This year we are premiering a Scholastic Signature Book Fair, which offers a greater selection of books and book series than ever before.
The Book Fair will run between Tuesday, November 7 through Thursday, November 16. Family Night will be Thursday, November 9 from 5:00-7:00. Donuts for Dads (and other adults) will be Wednesday, November 15 from 8:15-9:15.
Book Fair Volunteers Needed
Every year our fabulous volunteers make the Book Fair possible. Volunteering for a few hours is fun and easy and all training is provided.
We would really appreciate your help with:
· Set-up
· Take-down
· Cashiering
· Helping Kids with Book Selections
· Organizing
We especially need help in the mornings (from 8:30 -9:30) and during our Family Night (Nov 9th). If you can only give an hour just let us know - all help is appreciated! You may sign up for a shift on our Sign-Up Genius site:
Room and Co-Room Parent Meeting
There will be a meeting for all the room and co-room parents in Room 501 on Thursday, November 9th at 5:30pm. It should be a fairly short meeting (around 30-40 minutes).
If you missed the October 27th meeting, then this is the best opportunity to get important information about upcoming events. It will also be a great chance for everyone to get acquainted. If you are unable to attend or have any questions, please contact:
Ginger Brezac, TCE Room Parent Liaison
(919) 345-5499 or ginger@ypass.net
Boosterthon Collections
Thank you to all of our Boosterthon Sponsors and Participants! We greatly appreciate your help, and certainly could not have done it without you! Pledging and collections will remain open for 1 more week.
THANK YOU!
Did You Know….
You do not need access to a computer or the internet to sponsor you child for the Fun Run? If anyone would like to sponsor your child but do not want to use a credit card or pay online, then they may write a check or sponsor with cash. Simply send the cash or check to school in a sealed envelope with your child’s name, teacher's name and "Boosterthon" written on it. The Boosterthon team members will log the donation and ensure your child receives credit for the donation.
Please send in all donations by Nov 7th.
Send us Pictures for the Yearbook
Art By Me
Hello Turner Creek Families!
By now you should have received the Art By Me postcards of your child’s artwork with the attached order form. You may order additional items with your child’s artwork on it; these items make great gifts and will arrive to the school for distribution prior to the holidays!
Please make sure to have any orders you plan to send in to the school with payment back as soon as possible.
All items can be ordered online, but please allow plenty of time for them to arrive.
The monies raised by Art By Me go directly to our amazing Art Program here at Turner Creek Elementary.
Thank you for all you do to support our school! If you have any questions at all, please email Jaimee Docherty at drdocherty@aol.com.

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
