Spring Flowers Fundraiser

Please support the TEMS PTO by purchasing spring flower bulbs that will blossom into beautiful flowers this summer!

Dutch Mills is a local nursery based near Hershey, PA, who offers flower bulbs shipped from Holland. They have an extensive variety of reasonably-priced flower bulbs which will arrive to your home in early April, and if planted this spring, will grow and bloom into beautiful flowers this summer!

The proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the various efforts of the TEMS PTO. Please purchase anytime between now-March 15th. Thank you so much for your support!

Hip Hop Cultural assembly

The TEMS PTO was excited to host Clyde Evans and the Chosen Dance company on Monday, February 26th. The seventh graders learned about the history of hip hop, watched demonstrations of dance moves, and then had the opportunity to join the dancers onstage to dance themselves. TEMS teachers also gave it a try. Everyone had fun, learned a lot, and experienced the music and dance of this art form!

Thanks for supporting the TEMS PTO and making experiences like this available to our kids.

Note from nurses office!

Please ensure that your students are eating breakfast or grabbing a granola bar prior to coming to school. The number of kids coming in hungry to the nurse’s office has increased exponentially. Breakfast is available each day at no cost in the cafeteria for students. The nurse’s office is now accepting donations of barrels of pretzels and nut free animal crackers.

School store needs YOU!

We're looking for parents to staff the School Store! The School Store is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (during all the lunch periods) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There will be two volunteers signed up for each day. The School Store is a great way to see your student(s) in action and support the school.

Background clearance is needed for volunteering for the school store. Here is a link on details regarding clearance (Volunteer Background Clearance).

If you have background clearance, please sign up using the link below.
