We hope you and your family have a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday break. We are grateful to spend our days with your amazing kiddos! Be safe! And, we look forward to all the fun that December in elementary school brings when we return on Monday!

Our teachers had a fun time searching for lost turkeys around the school! They even won some prizes for finding them.

Please come to Tremont and take a look at our lost and found! There are so many coats, sweatshirts and other random things there!

We are excited to announce a friendly competition between Tremont and Barrington during the month of November! We will be collecting pop tabs as a school to see how many pounds we can gather in total. This project will directly benefit the central Ohio Ronald McDonald House, helping families in need.

Please remember to send in only the pop tabs, not the cans. We will be collecting pop tabs from November 4 to December 6. Kindly send all pop tabs to your classroom teacher.

Thank you for your support in this initiative! Together, we can make a difference.

Good Morning Tremont (GMT) is Tremont Elementary School’s daily video announcement show featuring timely information for students and staff, as well as celebrations of classroom learning, community, and school events. GMT is hosted as “unlisted” on YouTube, viewable only though the link emailed to Tremont staff and families each school day. Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to create content for GMT individually and as a class, in addition to being recognized as a part of school events.

During the month of December, be sure to watch for recognition of Computer Science Education Week, World Arabic Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, & more! In addition, we are excited to feature takeovers from Mrs. Skelskey’s, Mrs. Keller’s, & Mrs. Masters’ classes!

Volunteers Needed for February's Not-So-Silent Social!

Volunteers Needed for this year's auction--formerly known as the Not-So-Silent Auction! The auction will happen in late February, and we are in need of volunteers for the following--please reach out to Meg Terwilliger if you're interested in getting involved! Heymegtwig@gmail.com

1. Classroom Art (1 person): Each classroom is responsible for creating a piece of artwork that is part of the silent auction. Typically, each class has a parent that works with the teacher to manage and complete the art project with the class. This role has been working with each classroom volunteer to make sure each class has a project, the final project is photographed for the auction site and coordinates the 'gallery' at Tremont where all classroom art is displayed the week of the auction. We have guidelines for what the art can/should be, and templates for outreach and management of this effort.

2. Donations (4 people): This year all packages will be pre-established based on most popular packages in past auctions. Each volunteer will be responsible for 6 packages from start to finish. Includes contacting the business/donor for each item in the package, arranging for pickup of items, combining into a package or creating certificates (we have a template), and dropping packages off at Tremont for winners to pick up on Friday of the Not-So-Silent Social. We have a spreadsheet to manage solicitation and donations based on who has donated in the past. Volunteers would be responsible for 'back filling' if a business does not wish to donate again. For example, if Goodie Shop does not want to donate to the birthday party package, the volunteer would need to find a different business to donate a 'sweet treat' for that package.
