Important Global Studies Information about Cuisine Day
¡Hola!
We are continuing to have a great time learning Spanish while singing, dancing, collaborating, creating and playing in Global Studies!
Between May 6th and May 24th, the students will have an opportunity to sample roasted plantain chips during one of their Global Studies classes. The ingredients in the chips are plantains, sunflower oil, and salt. Pictures and additional information about the product can be found below. If you do not want your child to sample the plantain chips, please complete the Participation OPT-OUT form and respond by May 3, 2019.

Use Reusable Containers instead of Plastic Baggies
Hi TCE Cardinals!
Did you know that bringing reusable containers for your daily snack and in your lunchbox is better than using plastic baggies? We have learned that plastic baggies take 500-1,000 years to decompose. We are recycling the plastic baggies, but bringing a reusable container is better for the Earth! Try to use more reusable containers than plastic baggies.
Thank you for helping us change the world by reducing one plastic baggie at a time!
