Show Your Teachers Some Love - IAB

As we head into next week, we wanted to gently reshare a message in case you missed our special blast, “Show Your Teachers Some Love,” that went out over the Valentine’s Day weekend. 

The TEMS PTO “I’m a Bulldog!” campaign is our long-running direct donation effort that supports innovation in the classroom. Thanks to the generosity of our families over the past ten years, we’ve been able to fulfill nearly all teacher requests—helping enrich classrooms and enhance our students’ middle school experience.

Donations have helped provide flexible seating, classroom library books, PE equipment, art and STEM supplies, educational games, and more. February is all about showing love—so if you’d like to show some love to your own teachers, please consider donating to I’m a Bulldog! so we can continue supporting our teachers and classrooms.

 Click here to donate!

The TEMS PTO is a 501(c)(3), so your donation is tax deductible. Take advantage of Corporate Gift Matching Programs and your contribution can be doubled!

If you have any questions about the I’m A Bulldog! campaign, please reach out to Kate Miller or Beth Fogarty.

A Note From the Nurse

Here at TEMS we have noticed an increase in the number of students bringing energy drinks into school with their lunch or drinking them as they are arriving at school. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises that children and teens should not consume energy drinks ever because they contain high levels of caffeine and stimulants that can cause anxiety, sleep problems, increased heart rate, and other health concerns. These drinks often have more caffeine than an espresso and large amounts of sugar, which can contribute to unhealthy weight gain, cavities, and other long‑term health issues.

For our students' safety, please do not send these drinks in with your student to school. Please encourage your child to choose healthier options like water to stay hydrated throughout the day.

5th and 6th Grade Bowling Social

Friday, March 6, 1–2:30 p.m.

Devon Lanes

The TEMS PTO invites all 5th and 6th graders to a Bowling Social on Friday, March 6, 1 pm to 2:30 pm, at Devon Lanes! 

The $25 admission ticket includes bowling, pizza, water, and a snack.  This event is held on a regularly-scheduled half day for parent-teacher conferences, and it is a drop off event for students.  Tickets will be limited to only 144 students so everyone has an opportunity to bowl. Tickets are on sale now and must be pre-purchased here.   Tickets will not be sold at the door. 

Volunteers are also needed to help serve pizza, check students in, supervise students, etc.


Want to help? Thanks! Click here to volunteer via the Signup Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090C49ABAC28A2FE3-62333888-tems 

Stay tuned for more details about ticket sales!
