Thank you for a successful first Family Dance!
Our first TCE Family Dance is officially in the books! Thank you to everyone that joined us for the party and the parent and student volunteers for making the party a success. Extra thanks to Lucy for the picture perfect flower wall at the event. Check out the link below for all your flower wall needs!
Candy bar bingo and the silent auction are here!!
The silent auction for staff experiences is live! Click the link below to bid on items. Some experiences include an extra recess for the class, Principal for the day, a popsicle party for the class and a bedtime story with Mrs. Hopper!
We are still requesting adult volunteers and accepting candy donations! Thank you in advance!
The Staff Appreciation Committee Needs your Help!
For the month of February, our Staff Appreciation Committee had a sweet treat from Crave Cookie in Fishers for our TCE staff. Up next is Teacher Appreciation Week in May! The committee will spoil our staff all week during their "Wickedly OZ-some Staff Appreciation Week". If you are able and would like to help the committee for Staff Appreciation Week in May, please donate via the link below!
If you’d like to join our Staff Appreciation Committee - we’d love to have you and your fresh ideas on how we can continue to treat our deserving TCE Staff throughout the year. Contact Erin @ erinleonard81@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping.
