Attention TCES Students!
The PTA Reflections theme for 2018-19 has been announced! This year’s theme is “Heroes Around Me.” As you take time to relax and spend time with your family this summer, begin thinking about what that theme will inspire you to create. Maybe an original song, a dance, or even an original film. Unleash your creativity to celebrate the heroes in our lives! More detailed information will be sent out at the start of the school year. Parents- if anyone is interested in being a part of a small committee to plan the Reflections contest for the upcoming school year, please email Jen Maddux (jamaddux@me.com) for more information!
