Topsail Annandale Elementary School

Good Afternoon Topsail Annandale Elementary Families!

This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. 

For over 30 years, the Community Holiday Assistance Program has served Eastern Pender County families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays.  Families receive a coupon for a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal from Harris Teeter.  At Christmas, families receive a gift card to a local grocery store and toys for their children through the free “Toy Shop” program.  The program serves ages newborn to 18 (all school age children). If your family is in need of holiday assistance, please complete the online referral form, linked below. If you have any questions, or need assistance completing the form, please contact Dr. Lori Brown, School Counselor at TAES.

Here is the link to our school’s referral form. https://forms.gle/AkGofyn9pvXtxtQTA

PTA Updates:

Thank you to everyone that participated in our annual Boosterthon Fun Run! The final numbers are in and we raised over $58,000 for our school. As promised Mrs Wilson and Dr Gates are being slimed!!!! The kids also earned enough money for six additional staff members to join in the fun. We are scheduling that now. Stay tuned for pictures and video.

Mark your calendars now for a FREE Outdoor Family Movie Night on November 4th from 6-8 PM. The kids voted and we will be showing the original Minions movie. Flyers went home last week with information on food preorders. Meal deals are $5 each when purchased in advance and include a slice of pizza, a drink and a choice of either popcorn, candy or chips. Meal deals must be purchased in advance by this Thursday. Items will be available for purchase at the movie for $2 each. Cash and check only at the event. Gates and concession sales open at 6 PM, and the movie begins at 6:30 PM. We will have a limited amount of spirit wear available for purchase. This is NOT a drop-off event. A responsible adult must be present at the event. Meal deal pre-order is available here: https://tes.memberhub.com/store
