!Buenos Dias! We are off to a great new year at Truscott!! This year, we need your help: we're aking that all our students be able to have tennis shoes for PE days in class. It helps keeping their bodies safe, and not making marks on our gym floor for the custodians to have extra work to clean off. Students have P.E. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can check with your classroom teacher exactly which day they go to P.E.
If your family is in need of a pair of tennis shoes, the District had shoes donated by soles 4 souls so please reach out to Mrs. Mueller and she can request a pair of shoes for your child.
Thanks for your cooperation on keeping your kiddos safe! Happy Labor Day Weekend!!

Café con Leche has some exciting news! They supported the purchase of 5 portable AC units for the Music room, Library, 5th grade classrooms and the English Language Development room. Air conditioning units were purchased by Café con Leche to help keep our school cooler during these hot days at the beginning of the school year. You can support purchases like this-as well as fund field trips and classroom events- by volunteering with Café con Leche or attending Café con Leche events.

College and Career Week
Dear Parents,
We will again be hosting a College and Career Week at Truscott . This year it will be earlier so we are already planning.
It will be the week of September 30 - October 4th!
Last year we focused on Careers Around Us. We had the City of Loveland, many First Responders, Several different departments from Thompson School District and several parents and community members come and share their careers and career journeys with our students.
We would love to have more parents come to share their careers with our students! Would you be willing to come on Thursday October 3rd from 8:30 to 10:30 am(please note the time change) We would love to have parents from the medical field, construction, technology, culinary, small business, travel, manufacturing, or whatever you are involved in and would be willing to share with our students! Sharing our experiences with our students helps them to start thinking about their career journey.
