Good Evening Topsail Elementary Families!
This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. Just a reminder that you can see the full version of this message in your e-mail or you can find it on our school website under the "about " heading and then by clicking on "Weekly Message".
Parents, we have noticed an increased number of parents dropping their kids off in the high school bus lot in the mornings. Please remember, you must use the car rider line. The only families permitted to walk their children down from the bus lot are THS staff members. Thank you for following our morning drop-off procedures.
A few reminders from PTA...tomorrow is the last day to purchase TES spirit wear! Also, you can begin buying your tickets for our Glow Bash now and raffle ticket sales will begin Tuesday morning. See the PTA portion of this message for more info.
From January 31-February 11th Topsail Elementary will be hosting a "super bowl" canned food drive to support Share the Table food pantry! Students will place their food items in the front lobby under the team they think will win the Super Bowl. Please send students with non-perishable items such as soups, canned fruits and vegetables, crackers, condiments, and more!
We have an exciting project we're working on and we need your help! Please help us expand our diverse book collection in our classrooms. We love teaching our students about other cultures.

Thank you to everyone that donated towards classroom raffle baskets and silent auction items. They are amazing!!! Raffle ticket sales begin this Tuesday! Each ticket is $1 and can be purchased in the front lobby from 7:10-7:40 each morning. Please have your student check in with their teacher first and then come purchase their tickets. We record ticket numbers so they are not required to have the ticket the night of the bash to win. All winners for raffle baskets and silent auctions will be announced at 7pm at the Glow Bash.
