TCE Parents we have officially entered into the month of November! It's hard to believe these first few months of school have gone by so quickly! We have several things coming up this month to look forward to at TCE!
Pansy Planting
We had to postpone our annual pansy planting until this next week due to the rain and muddiness outside. We will be having our planting one day this next week, so if you would be interested in helping to volunteer for this event, please contact Beth Reynolds at bethr40@gmail.com.
Sole Hope Shoe Project in Kindergarten
Thank you so much to everyone who donated jeans for our Kindergarten Sole
Hope shoe project! Now that we have collected our materials, we are looking for
volunteers to come and help us trace and cut the denim into squares. Once the
squares are made and put into pairs, we can ship them off to be made into
shoes!
Kindergarten is teaming up with the Fashion Club during Texan Town. If
you would like to volunteer to help trace and cut, please bring fabric scissors
on
Friday, November 13th from 8:00-8:50.
Please email Katy McKinney at kmckinney@coppellisd.com
if you would be interested in helping out on this day!
Thank you so much!
Kindergarten cannot wait to make a difference for other kids just like them
that do not have shoes!
Veteran's Day Ceremony
We will once again be honoring our Veteran's this year in a morning ceremony on Wednesday, November 11th at 8:30am. If you have a family member or family friend who has served in the military and would like to be recognized as during our ceremony, please see the following invite as well as please email Brett Shelby our Assistant Principal at bshelby@coppellisd.com so we will know who will be attending! Thank you!
Turkey Drive and Canned Food Drive
Please see the following info for our fall collection canned food drive.
Also, remember we will have our annual CISD Turkey Drive on November 20th in the morning outside of our school.
This year is a little different as we have some info from the North Texas Regional Food Bank letting you know why:
- Our region lost over 1
million birds to avian flu earlier this year.
- Due to decreased supply, the
prices of turkeys have increased, therefore, we will provide chickens to client
families this holiday season
- Chickens can be stuffed and
prepared like a standard Thanksgiving Turkey!
- We received feedback from
agencies that many clients could not fit the large turkeys in their oven last year……
- With a minimum $15 ONLINE
donation, a donor can DOUBLE THEIR IMPACT - a $15 donation will provide
2 chickens - thus we will be feeding more families this year
- We will also have a $30
ONLINE donation option that will provide 2 families with an ENTIRE
meal (chicken and all the fixins': sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry
sauce, fruit cocktail, mac & cheese, cooking oil)

TCE Parent/Community Tours
Shout out to all of the parents and community members who were able to attend our tours! We had a great turnout and it was wonderful to visit with everyone!

We will be having another round of tours this spring, so if you missed the first ones you can join up with us then!
