PTO 2024-2025 Bulletpoints

• Did you know that the Fun Run raised more than $36,000???!!!  What?! So amazing! A big thank you to TES friends and families for raising so much school funding through our Fun Run!
• PTO rocks it on Facebook and Instagram.  They don’t stop at just supporting our site, they reshare for the other sites and district events as well.
• PTO sponsors enrichment checks for classrooms each year so that teachers may purchase items to enrich their classrooms.  
• PTO sponsors teacher grant requests in the fall and spring. This allows teachers/staff to submit specific requests for items/activities that will directly impact their students. PTO reviews submissions and does its best to fund as many grants as possible.
• PTO Fall Festival was so well done and organized, and we appreciated all of your help and support. It seemed like the families were super happy and had a great time. Lots of positive comments from kids/parents, etc.

The TES PTO awards grants to teachers and grade level teams twice a year. Funding is provided for everything from classroom tools to reward incentives to musical instruments to computer accessories to field trips to professional development conferences, and even a beverage fridge for the staff lounge! Their generosity is appreciated beyond measure!!!

A HUGE shoutout to TES/VES/TMS PTO for a successful "Le Cirque" Black and White Ball. The event raised an astounding $155,242!!! The auction items were amazing and the generosity that flowed from the event was magical. For all of those who helped plan, organize, volunteer, contributed, and simply sent their good wishes are truly appreciated! TES is so thankful for the generous support the PTO gives our programs throughout the school year. **We are looking for a volunteer event planner for next year's ball. This event may be canceled without this crucial partnership.**

Have you seen the new marquee?

With all the fundraising our PTO has done with the support of all our families, TES has finally received their marquee!  Be ready for it to light up with all kinds of messages and reminders!

DONATIONS welcome!

Sun umbrellas and stands are needed for our outdoor areas around campus.  If you are spring cleaning and have any gently used patio umbrellas and stands, TES would love them!
