7th Grade Cultural Arts Assembly - March 27th

The TEMS Cultural Arts team is pleased to present the Grade 7 assembly, The Magic of Storytelling. Through the art of oral tradition, Tchin, a nationally recognized Indigenous artist and educator in arts and culture, shares stories that illustrate the creation of the world and the origins of various phenomena. His storytelling explores themes such as cultural diversity, music appreciation, and environmental consciousness. As part of this program, he will also perform and provide insight into the rarely seen or heard courting flute. 

We would like to thank you for support of the PTO! Your donations and participation in PTO events make it possible for us to bring unique and enriching assemblies such as these to our students.

The School Board will meet in regular session on March 24, 2025 at 7:30 pm at Conestoga High School. The Priority Discussion Topic for the meeting is Naming of the New Elementary School. The Public Information Committee, after a 4-month process involving significant public input, has recommended “Bear Hill Elementary School" as the name of the new school. Before voting on the recommendation, the full Board will hear a summary presentation of the process, including an opportunity for additional public input.

The School Board meeting will be streamed live and can be viewed on Comcast Channel 14, Verizon Channel 20, TESD's YouTube Channel, and TETV online
