PTA Painting Day
We need a few hours of your time Saturday, April 14 at 9:00 am! The PTA and the TCE school staff are requesting volunteers to help paint the Media Center to make our children’s environment more inviting. With many hands, the painting should only take a few hours. There have been many changes to make our school a more warm and welcoming learning environment for all the Turner Creek Elementary students and your help
painting will help us continue with this effort! THANK YOU!
Unfortunately, children are not able to help or be present
on campus during this event.

Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
We just earned $335 from Box Tops for Education! The next Box Tops submission date is November 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 11/1/2018 and beyond). The Box Tops collection bin is located in the TCE lobby across from the main office.
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they quickly add up to real cash for our school. Here is a link showing participating Box Tops products.
Clip Tyson Project A+ labels from participating Tyson® product packages and send them to school with your child. We’ll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24¢! Please drop your Tyson Project A+ labels in the Box Tops collection bin in the TCE lobby.
Here is a link for a list of participating products.

Hot Lunches
Due to an electrical problem on our serving line, our wonderful cafeteria is having issues serving hot lunches. There may be days that they will have to alter the menu. Unfortunately, we will not know ahead of time. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We do know it is disappointing to the students when lunch is not what they think it will be.
The county is aware of the problem. It will take time to get it fixed. Thank you
WCPSS Parent Survey
Parents who have an email(s) on file in their students’ records were emailed a link from WCPSS & Panorama Education this week. Please take the time to complete the survey. The survey is confidential however, the schools will use the results as a basis to help in our school improvement plans.
