March Madness Day at TEMS

TEMS Student Council is organizing March Madness Day on Thursday, March 20th. Students are encouraged to wear college gear of their choice to show support during the tournament. Their selected team DOES NOT need to be in the bracket—any college can be represented. Stay tuned on Schoology for any last minute updates.

Students can wear hats, jerseys, shirts, shorts, socks, or other accessories. Those who participate will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for a $25 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card.

TEMS School Store

The TEMS School Store has reopened as a brand-new mobile cart in the Cafeteria during 5th and 6th grade lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays! We’ll keep an eye on things and adjust days and timing as needed!

The store is cash only, with items ranging from $0.50 to $3.00. Available products include fun school supplies (pencils, erasers, earbuds, pencil lead, sharpeners, etc.) and small trinkets (fidgets, locker magnets, scented putty, etc.). Please remind your students that shoppers are required to form a single file line at the cart if they wish to shop.  

Parent Volunteers Needed!
The store relies on parent volunteers to operate from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Volunteers are responsible for setting up the cart, selling items, handling cash, and storing the cart back. The store can only open when at least one or two parents sign up. 
Don’t miss this chance to see your kids in action during lunch while making a difference for the TEMS PTO—sign up today!

Thank you for supporting the TEMS School Store!

5/6 grade Bowling Social Update

Thanks to the 5th and 6th graders who joined us for the Annual Bowling Party last Friday!  We all had a blast bowling, eating pizza, and hanging out with friends.  This event raised over $650 for the TEMS PTO, which will be used to fund Cultural Arts Assemblies, Teacher & Staff Recognition, and 8th Grade Recognition in June.  A huge THANK YOU to the volunteers who helped supervise the crew.  Hope you can join us again next year!
