PTA Updates:



This week we are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week!  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.  



Please also look for our Friends themed blank note coming home in your students' folders.  We'd love for them to write a note thanking their teachers for all of their hard work this year.  Please feel free to make additional copies or even use blank paper.  Send those back to school with your students anytime this week.  Remember specials teachers, assistants, custodians, front office staff, cafeteria staff, etc.   



Nominations are complete for our TES PTA Board for the 2022-23 school year.  Our Nominating Committee has put forth the following slate of nominees.  A final PTA membership meeting will be held in May to vote on this slate of nominees.
