TCE Color Run


Join us TONIGHT, October 20th from 5:30-7:00! Kindergarteners will run first at 5:45 p.m., with each subsequent grade starting every five minutes after the grade level before them. Once every grade has gone, each grade will go a second time around the school in the same order.

It is not too late to donate! Visit THIS LINK. Family and friends can donate as well if they would like to support TCE. Classes are still working to earn prizes as a group! The more the class raises, the more rewards the class enjoys together!



Terrific Texans

Throughout the week our learners at TCE are working hard at going above and beyond! When any teacher catches them standing out in a positive way they are awarded a Terrific Texan. At the end of the week, there is a school-wide drawing and 3 winners are chosen from each grade level.

Congratulations to our Terrific Texans this week:


Red Ribbon Week


The 2023 Red Ribbon Week Theme is "Be Kind to your Mind.  Live Drug Free.™" This theme was submitted by Danielle Helm of Kentucky and is a reminder that everyday Americans across the country make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live Drug-Free!  

“I chose this theme because drugs alter our current brain development and hinders further growth. Drugs decrease levels of neurotransmitters in the reward system of our brain, such as Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins. This can block our brain from naturally experiencing happiness,” said Danielle. “Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug Free. ™” is about making positive choices to be happy and healthy - that is being kind to our mind.” -www.redribbon.org
