Fall Festival - A big success!
THANK YOU to all who participated and supported our first ever TCE Fall Festival! We had a great turnout of TCE Families coming to enjoy some time with friends at this amazing festival! It was so much fun to see kids of all ages enjoying the inflatables, air brush tattoos, ballon twisting, and carnival games. We sold more than 500 wristbands and countless tickets for concessions. We could NOT have done this without your support and participation!
A very special THANK YOU to Amanda Abebe and her Fall Fest committee, as well as our parent volunteers, teachers/staff volunteers, and student volunteers for pouring your time, energy, and effort into this event solely for the benefit of the kids! We truly could NOT have had the success we did without all of your help!
We would also like to thank our Fall Fest Sponsors! We appreciate your investment in our event.

Staff Appreciation
In August, our staff appreciation committee kicked off the school year with muffins, bagels, and delicious fruit during their first day back to school!
For September, our staff were treated with an Apple Bar where they could choose and apple, slice it, and add some fun toppings!! What a nice treat to kick off the fall season!
Thank you to Erin Leonard and our staff appreciation committee for your time and effort to show our teachers and staff that we are extremely thankful for their love and dedication to our students!
