SY20 TCES Family Issue #31
May 4, 2020
Greetings Terrapins,
Today is the first day of Teacher Appreciation Week!
Throughout this time of many unknowns, one thing is certain: TCES has the very finest educators! I know you'll all agree that our teachers are dedicated and strong. I could not be more proud of our TCES teachers and staff.
Join me in taking some time to thank our educators this week. Check out the PTA flyer for some fun ways for students to show their appreciation each day this week or work with your student to come up with some ideas of your own.
Keep smiling,
Lindsay Brenfleck
