Teacher Appreciation Week is celebrated May 2nd-6th .  Teacher's Amazon Wish Lists were such a success last year, we decided to ask them to create a list again this year.  If you would like to see your teacher and assistant's wish lists, please see the link below.  All items are delivered directly to the school. Be sure to remember your specials teachers and other support staff.  Also remember the teacher and staff "Favorite Things Binder" is located in the front office and scanned images of each sheet are located on our Facebook Page.

TES PTA wants your kids to be involved this Teacher Appreciation Week.  Please make plans to stop by the school at anytime on Sunday May 1.  Students and parents are encouraged to help us "chalk the walk".  Please take a moment to leave an inspirational and encouraging message for our teachers and staff on the front sidewalks along the breezeway and along the front of the school.  Some chalk will be provided on the brick benches under the breezeway, but feel free to bring your own.  

FOURTH GRADE PARENTS:  TMS PTO is need of parents to serve on their 2022-23 PTO Board.  If you are interested, please email pto4tms@gmail.com
