PTO Meeting this Thursday!

Please join us for our monthly PTO meeting on Thursday, March 19 at 9:30 at TEMS.  It’s a great chance to connect with other families, hear what’s happening at school, and share your ideas. Every voice matters, and we’d love to see you there—whether you’re a regular or brand new!

Welcoming Committee Meeting

The TEMS Welcoming Committee meeting is Thursday, March 19th, 7pm-9pm at Will's + Bill's 324 Swedesford Rd, Berwyn, PA 19312

As always, these meetings are totally optional and you are free to drop in when you can and leave as you wish. We look forward to seeing you!

Leave Your Mark! TEMS PTO Ceiling Tile Fundraiser

Would you like to leave your permanent mark on our school AND support the TEMS PTO? 

For our first ceiling tile fundraiser, families are invited to paint ceiling tiles for display in the auditorium hallway! This is a way to positively freshen up the school, as well as raise funds to support the PTO's cultural arts programming, student activities, teacher requests and more. 

How it works
Families will purchase a ceiling tile kit to take home and paint. Each kit contains a 24" square ceiling tile and a set of paints. Please return the painted tile by the date specified. Artwork guidelines can be found at the link below.

Ceiling Tile Kit: $50 each

Important Dates

  • Order your ceiling tile kit using the link below from February 25 - March 20, 2026.
  • Pick up kits in the school parking lot the week of March 23, 2026 (time TBD)
  • Return your painted tile to school by Friday, April 17, 2026
  • Ceiling tiles will be installed Summer 2026.

Puzzles Needed!

If you have any gently used puzzles at home that your family no longer needs, please consider donating them to the TEMS Library. Your donation would help us expand our collection and provide more fun, engaging options for our students during indoor activity.
