TCE is hosting their third annual TCE Fall Festival. Join us on Friday, September 20th from 5-8pm with inflatables, carnival games, airbrush tattoos, balloon artists, concessions, Bruster’s real ice cream, snacks, and more!

Wristbands can be purchased via the QR code (scan or click!) below for $15 through Sept. 18th. After September 18th, the price will increase to $20 each. Pre-purchased wristbands and tickets will be ready for pick up at the Fall Festival on the day of the event. Wristbands are for students/siblings only and include access to all the inflatables, carnival games, wacky hair and air brush tattoos. Adults do not need to purchase a wristband.

Tickets are used in place of cash at our Fall Festival due to many student volunteers. Tickets are redeemable for all concession items and raffle entries. Pre-purchased tickets are in discounted groups. Tickets purchased at the festival will be $1= 1 ticket. Concession items will range anywhere from 1 ticket to 6 tickets. Raffle entries will be 1 ticket per entry.

Again this year, we will have family and business sponsorships to help reach our fundraising goal of $15,000! With a family sponsorship, not only will you be supporting the PTO with the financial donation, but you will also get a wristband(s) and tickets depending on your contribution (tickets can be used for concessions as well as raffle). This is the major PTO fundraiser for the year and the money raised helps fund our extracurricular clubs, pay for school t-shirts, provides teacher grants and Cardinal wishes, funds our class parties and so much more! We could not make an impact at our school without the support of our families.

To put on these special events for our school and students, we need all the help we can get! If you are able to share an hour of your time, during the festival, before or at clean up, please use the link below. We also are in need of food and candy donations if you do not have the availability to volunteer your time. Thank you so much for considering!
