Cultural Arts Performer Donna Washington
We had two exciting mornings with local storyteller and author, Donna Washington. The classes really enjoyed her stories, laughing and learning with a focus on story structure, creativity and life lessons.
You can watch more of Donna's storytelling on her website https://dlwstoryteller.com/
Special thanks to the United Arts Council, the TCE PTA and the parents of TCE for generously donating to our fundraising efforts.

Art By Me
Hello Turner Creek Families!
By now you should have received the Art By Me postcards of your child’s artwork with the attached order form. You may order additional items with your child’s artwork on it; these items make great gifts and will arrive to the school for distribution prior to the holidays!
Please make sure to have any orders you plan to send in to the school with payment back as soon as possible.
All items can be ordered online, but please allow plenty of time for them to arrive.
The monies raised by Art By Me go directly to our amazing Art Program here at Turner Creek Elementary.
Thank you for all you do to support our school! If you have any questions at all, please email Jaimee Docherty at drdocherty@aol.com.
Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
We just received a check for $773! Good work Turner Creek!
The next Box Tops submission date is March 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 3/1/2018 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.

WE NEED YOU!
Would you like to be an active volunteer, but don’t want to get in over your head? We have the PERFECT solution! Volunteer to be a Board Intern! This position gives you access to learn about each different board position, as well as an opportunity to learn what each of the chair positions do. The best part is YOU decide when, where and how you want to help.
It’s a perfect place to start, because the time commitment is as much or as little as you’d like, and you get an inside look at all the PTA does. Parents like YOU make ALL the difference!
We have 2 positions to fill, so don’t be shy.
Please email president@tce-pta.org for more information
