Good Afternoon Topsail Annandale Elementary Families!

This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. 

Our annual Holiday Concert at TAES is back!  This year, we will have a performance by the Holiday Drummers followed by the Christmas musical, The Reindeer Whisperer. Something has upset the reindeer, and they refuse to fly.  It's the day before Christmas Eve - who can help?  The Reindeer Whisperer, of course!!  Come see our 4th graders shine in this musical performance.  All 4th graders will be singing the songs as our actors perform the story. Join us on Thursday, December 8th at 6:00 in the gym.  We hope to see you there!

This week is Inclusive Schools Week at TAES! We celebrate this week to show students that everyone and anyone can be included and this year's theme is Unity in the Community. We will be celebrating inclusive schools week with character education, and learning about languages, adaptive tools, and assistive technology. We'll also gather as a community to cheer on our adaptive students as they head out to attend EC Prom.

If your family is in need of holiday assistance, please contact Dr. Lori Brown, School Counselor at TAES at lori_brown@pender.k12.nc.us or at 910-270-1977.
