Thank you for a successful Candy Bar Bingo Night!
We hope you and your family had a great time at the bingo event with friends and family! We are so grateful for all the staff members that volunteered their time at the event as well as donating time to their individual experiences. The staff experiences are in full swing right now and the extra recesses, popsicle parties, cheer lessons and popcorn parties have already taken place! If you were lucky enough to win an auction item from the Silent Auction, your student should have received an invoice. If you did not receive your invoice or you need instruction on how to pay for your experience, please email christinagreene33@gmail.com for some help! Thank you again to everyone who made the event a success!
The pancake dinner is here!!
Tickets are on sale for the TCE Pancake Dinner! This event is open to the whole family. Some of the TCE staff will be taking turns flipping pancakes so make sure your student asks their teacher if they will be there flipping! Click the picture below to get your tickets.
We are still requesting donations for the event including supplies, waters and more! Thank you in advance!
The Staff Appreciation Committee Needs your Help!
Staff Appreciation Week is May 5-9!! 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.
