Fundraiser Note
One of the roles of the TZ PTO is to provide support to the students and staff of Tzouanakis Intermediate School through fund raising. The TZ PTO provides many different opportunities for families to help support these efforts. The TZ PTO certainly appreciates any support that the TZ families and community may provide, however, we don't expect families to participate in all of the different opportunities. The TZ PTO tries to provided different options that would appeal to different people. There is always the option to give a direct donation to the PTO, as well. Some of the TZ PTO initiatives include:
- Box Tops for Education--Send in All Year
- TZ Night at Local Restaurants--Eat Dinner & Earn Dollars for TZ
- Fall Fundraiser--Aug. 17-29--Cheese/Sausage/Candles/Trash Bags & More
- Spirit Wear--Sale Begins Soon
- SCRIP Gift Cards--If you buy gift cards...this is the fund raiser for you. No extra cost for you, but TZ earns dollars.--November/December
- Kroger Community Rewards--No Cost to Parent--Just link your Kroger Plus Card to TZ to help TZ earn dollars. (See Trailblazer or TZ Webpage (PTO Link) for more information.)
- Book Fairs--November & April
- Texas Roadhouse Roll Sale--November
- Santa Shop--December
- Spring Fundraiser--March
- Puttin' on the Hits--April
The TZ PTO also has the option for parents that would like to just donate and not participate in any of the fundraising opportunities.
Again, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, whether that is with your volunteering an event or participating the different fund raising efforts.

TZ Team Building Day...Fun...Friends...Teamwork!
Dear TZ Parents/Guardians,
This is just a courtesy message to inform you that we have completed several safety drills over the past few days of school. Each year we are required to practice fire, tornado, man-made occurrence drills (i.e., lock down), and earthquake drills. The goal of the drills is not to alarm the students, but to practice procedures and to be ready if we were to have an actual emergency. We have had a practice fire drill, a practice tornado drill, and a practice lock down drill. Each time there was warning in advance that we were practicing the drill and follow up discussion after the drill. We will have a fire drill each month, along with three more tornado drills and one additional man-made occurrence drill. The school will take part in the Great Central US Shakeout (Earthquake Drill) in October.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these safety drills.
Respectfully,
Jon Strube
Congratulations TZ Family for Helping to Make Lives Better!

Volunteer in the Classroom or Field Trip--Need Background Check On File--Good for One Year
At TZ we appreciate parents/guardians that would like to volunteer to assist in the classrooms and/or go on field trips. As a part of any volunteer activity, we must have a cleared background check on file for each person wanting to assist here at school or accompany a class on a field trip.
I wanted to take time to clarify the limited/volunteer background checks. These background checks are free to our volunteers. A limited/volunteer background check is only good for one calendar year. If a volunteer wishes to continue volunteering after one year, they must submit a new application.
A link to the form that needs to be completed and turned in to the TZ office is below. You may also come by the school to complete the form. We do need to have a copy of your driver’s license to process the request.
Again, we appreciate your willingness to volunteer.
Mr. Strube
Now is the time to ENROLL or RECONNECT your Kroger Plus Card to Help Earn FREE Dollars for TZ
For those that already have a Kroger account and a linked Kroger Plus Card
Note: Each December you will need to reconnect your Kroger Plus Card to the organization you wish to support. If you have already connected your Kroger Plus Card to TZ, we ask that you take a few minutes to reconnect your card to continue to support TZ.
