Springtime Happenings!

TCE Garden Design Challenge
We are going to have a Garden Design Challenge in which all learners can turn in drawings, models, paintings, etc. in order to show what they would like for our garden area to look like for TCE.  We currently have several beds and have been working with a company, Real School Gardens, in order to find even more ways to incorporate real world, hands-on applications within our garden to enrich our academic learning.  

We are going to have our TCE Student Council work with a committee at the campus for choosing final selections for the overall design.  Until then, any ideas are welcome!  We are going to work with our Dad's Club/Green Team Volunteers in order to get going, but would love more helpers for when we get to our build!

Our goal is to build and get the designs in place for additional areas of the garden the week of May 15th.  

If you would like to be a part of this planning process or building, please fill out the following Google form:
We will reach out to you toward the middle of April!

Parent/Community Tours
We will be having an opportunity for you to come in for a parent/community tour of TCE on Thursday, April 13th from 8:30am-10:00am.  This is a great chance for you to come and see our classrooms in action during the school day! We will take a campus tour of K-5 and our specials classes to see the learning and you can ask questions throughout the tour. This is also a wonderful opportunity for any new families who are new to TCE this year, if you are a family who never got the chance to come on a tour before or for anyone who might be coming this next year!

 TCE Family Traditions Cookbook
Calling all cooks and their recipes!!! Doesn't have to be your own personal, can be one that you just truly love that someone else has created!!

We want to have the opportunity to create a TCE Family Traditions cookbook , since our theme is all about family and celebrating the diversity within our community.  We would love to have you share one of your favorite family recipes to go into our cookbook this year.  

If you are interested in participating, please send in your recipe to Casey Wagner, cwagner@coppellisd.com or you may send in a typed hard copy paper to give to the front office.
