• Good Morning TE!  My name is Kat and my name is Hannah. We are 6th graders  and members of Girl Scout Troop 10943.  Our troop recently heard about a fellow TE student who experienced a fire in their home. We really want to help during this difficult time!  And we are hoping all of TE will want to help too.  Please consider donating a dollar (or more if you can) tomorrow that we can give the family to make this time a little easier.  Please bring your donation to your homeroom teacher tomorrow morning.  Your teacher will give you a sticker to wear that shows that you donated. There is a famous quote that shows how far $1 can go.  “Individually, we are one drop.  But together we are an ocean”  Let’s work together to do something big for this family. We hope you can make a small donation tomorrow and our TE classmate will see how much we all care. Thank you for helping!
