SY21 TCES Family Issue #5
September 14, 2020
Hello Terrapin Families!
It was fantastic to see so many of you at last Friday's Materials of Instruction distribution. If you missed it, please email smverhaagh@smcps.org to make arrangements to collect your student's materials.
At Town Creek Elementary, we stick together! Check out the bulletin board Mrs. Kirby made to prove it. We are fortunate to have our Town Creek families and community working with us... we are all in this together!
All the best,
Lindsay Brenfleck
