I have uploaded the calendar for next week to the website. I have also updated the spelling words to the October lists.
On Monday, your child will bring home a packet of information about the PTC fundraiser. All of the money raised by the PTC (Parent Teacher Club) goes directly back to TES. They have purchased a lot of our playground equipment, projectors, document cameras, etc. over the years. For every child who sells at least one item, they will earn an Emoji keychain. Information about prizes for higher sales will be included in the packet.
We will start the Gambino's reading program in October. Your child will bring home a note to record their extra reading. If your child reads 4 EXTRA books in October, please list them on the note, sign it, and return it to school for a free personal pan pizza form. The guided reading books your child brings home each night do not count. The "ABC" books they bring home from the library are great books to read for this. This program is an incentive for children to do extra reading.
On Tuesday your child will get their picture taken for the yearbook. They brought home an envelope with information about ordering pictures a week or so ago. Please return any orders to school by Tuesday morning.
Finally, I wanted to remind you that school will be dismissed early on this Friday, October 6 for Homecoming. Students and families are encouraged to attend the Homecoming parade downtown Friday afternoon. Many of the TMS and THS students will be a part of the parade.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!
