Gearing Up for Next Week!

Flower/Plant Family Design Challenge

We have many creative and innovative flowers/plants coming in each day at TCE for our design challenge!  Remember, your child may create any kind of flower/plant using various types of materials (no real flowers or plants please)  for us to display on our front bulletin board or library at TCE! These can be done as a family or individually.  We will have our guest judge voting on this round of design challenges on Friday, March 11th at 8:00am! So, keep bringing in those designs!  

Jump Rope for Heart

Our final count so far for Jump Rope for Heart is $15,0000.  Since we did not reach our goal of at least $20,000. . .we are going to extend our online donations until Tuesday, March 8th!  

If we can just raise $5,000 more dollars, then Coach Yaegar will be coloring his hair and Mr. Shelby and myself will be having buckets of slime dumped on our heads at our spirit rally at the end of March!!!  You can bring in money to the front office to add to the donations or you can donate online!

If each of our kiddos could each donate just $10, we could reach the goal in no time!!

Book Fair and Doughnuts with Dad/Family Member

Just a reminder that our book fair will be going on all next week, March 7th-11th.  You can come in during the mornings before school at 7:30am to purchase items as well as during the school day and right after school.  

We will have our annual doughnuts with dad/family member on Tuesday, March 8th and Wednesday March 9th.  We are going to go with the letters of the last name again this year.  If your child's last name starts with the letters A-M come on Tuesday and then N-Z please come on Wednesday. 

Open House

We will be having our TCE Open House on Thursday, March 10th from 5:30-7:00pm.  We hope you are able to come and check out your child's work they will be showcasing!  

Also, the book fair will still be going on in the library as well as we will have our art show set up again this year in the cafeteria.  The framed artwork will be on sale where you can purchase that evening.  Also, don't feel like you have to purchase, because we will send home all artwork not purchased.  This is just a great way for you to have something already framed for you if you choose to buy!  

 Don't Forget . . . Shamrock Shuffle

We will be having our annual Shamrock Shuffle Run on Friday, March 11th during our specials times!  If you would like to come up and support or run with the kiddos feel free!  It is always great to have our parents showing support for physical fitness!
