Pumpkin Patch
This fall we will be turning our very own TCE Garden into the TCE Pumpkin Patch! We are so excited about all of the wonderful learning activities and curriculum connections we will be able to make in our school garden! If you would like to help us turn our school garden into the TCE Pumpkin Patch, please consider donating a pumpkin (any size or type) to our garden! You can begin sending in pumpkins as soon as possible, and we will take them to the garden. You can also drop them off in the garden on your own! 
Thank you so much! 


Fall Conferences
Fall conferences are coming up! We have October 11th set aside for parent/teacher conferences. Please sign-up using the link for your child's homeroom teacher.
