  • To celebrate the Timothy Edwards 50th Anniversary this month, here’s today’s “Would You Believe?” story from a longtime TE teacher, Mr. Jerry Hilliard:

How would you like to switch schools part way through the year?

Would you believe that back in January 1968: all the students and teachers that were in “Junior High” school were scattered around the town of South Windsor at Ellsworth, Wapping, and at South Windsor High School. They were all told that they would be moving into the new Timothy Edwards Junior High over the February vacation. 

By the end of January, it became obvious that that wouldn’t happen, and the school wouldn’t be ready until mid March.

On Friday, March 15th 1968 the students were told to clean out their lockers and report to the new Timothy Edwards school here at 100 Arnold Way on Monday. 

  • And Now Here Is Our Meteorologist Jordan With The Weather!!!! Yesterday evening was pretty crazy but luckily the rest of the week doesn’t look that bad. As we continue the week today’s temperatures will be in mid sixties with mostly cloudy skies but as we head into the evening hours there is a slight chance for some rain showers, nothing to really be worried about. The rest of the week isn’t looking the nicest with temperatures ranging in the mid sixties other than a couple days which will be in the seventies, with low temperatures this week in the mid to upper fifties. We are expecting some rain showers during the end of this week and beginning of next week, but the next two days are looking pretty sunny. Jordan Cosman, TETV morning news, guys, back to you.
  • Today for lunch... In the Create line you can have Sloppy Joe. In the Grill line you can have Crispy Chicken Tenders and in the On the Go line you can have your choice of deli sandwiches. Have a great day, do your best,  remember to always strive for 5!

  • Lyndsay Donston's walk-off hit propelled the TE softball team to a dramatic 14-13 victory over East Hartford Middle School last Friday.  Grace Benashski and Aricka Boosa pitched the Cougars towards victory.  Alexa Kimball, Lindsey Carter and Olivia Petgrave played well defensively.  The Cougars now have three wins and two losses, and play tomorrow at home versus Ellington at 3:30 pm.  

  • The Athletics Department will be offering Tennis Intramurals after school, starting May 16.  The program will run for 2 weeks, and will focus on match play.  If you are interested, please pick up a registration form in the gym locker rooms.  Registration is limited to 20 students.  Any questions, see Mrs. Hall. 

  • The literary magazine Out of the Blue will meet immediately after school today in room 312 in the Garnet hallway.  We have many things to do so all members should try to attend.

  • Hello all students and staff at TE! This month is the Timothy Edwards 50th Anniversary Celebration. Does 50 years sound like a long time to you? Can you name some things that happened 50 years ago? 

1968 remains arguably the most historic year in modern American history: the first 747 "Jumbo Jet" airplane was introduced, revered leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, and we traveled into space.

NASA’s Apollo 8 mission had many firsts. For the first time in history humans orbited the Moon. It set a new rocket speed record of more than 24 thousand miles per hour. It was the first time the lunar surface was broadcast on live television, and it was the first time humans had traveled to the far side of the moon.

Back here on Earth, Timothy Edwards opened for the first time as the new school in South Windsor. We will be celebrating this with some special activities and events this month, ending with the Timothy Edwards 50th Anniversary Celebration on May 31st. There will be more details to follow, but all current and former students and staff are invited for the May 31st evening celebration. Also, we will be having some remembrances in a “Would you Believe?” section from current and past teachers and students that we will share with you here on the TE TV Morning News.

  • If you want to work on your fitness while enjoying some nice weather, sign up for the Spring Running Club.  Running club will meet after school on Thursdays.  If you’re interested, stop by the main office or Ms. Nelson’s room in 251 for a form.  Forms are due back by Wednesday, May 16th.
  • The TE Baseball Team improved to 3 and 2 on the season with a victory over East Hartford.  Jack Albert picked up the win on the mound, striking out 7 in six innings of work.  Mike Foran had 2 hits, including a double and RBI, while Jack Whitlock singled and doubled for the Cougars. TE plays at Ellington on Tuesday. 
  • And Now Here is our meteorologist Jordan with the weather! As we start off the week today’s temperatures will be in the mid seventies with partly sunny skies, a pretty quiet day. The rest of the week doesn’t look to be as quiet with temperatures ranging in the mid to upper seventies with low temperatures in the mid to upper fifties. We are expecting some rain showers during the middle and end of the week but other than that it is looking mostly sunny. We have also issued a storm warning for the whole state on Tuesday due to the strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds expected during the mid afternoon and evening hours. Jordan Cosman, TETV morning news, guys, back to you.
  • Today for lunch...In the Create line you can have Chicken Tenders. In the Grill line you can have Cheese Quesadilla and in the On the Go line you can have your choice of deli sandwiches. Have a great day, do your best, remember to always strive for 5!

  • On another note, attention MathCounts students.  You are all invited to attend the May 22nd Board of Education Meeting at TEMS ALT 6 – beginning at 7:00 pm.  Mr. Denker, Mrs. Goldman, Mr. Smith Horn and I will be there as Dr. Carter will spotlight all MathCounts Club participants.

  • The Timothy Edwards baseball team had a dramatic, come from behind, walk off victory against Ellington on Thursday afternoon.  Peyton West led off the bottom of the 9th by ripping a single to center field.  2 outs later, West found himself on third base when Joey Bates stepped to the plate.  Bates had hit the ball hard all day and was looking to end the game in front of the capacity crowd.  He crushed a single to right as West raced home with the winning run for the Cougars. On the mound, Nick Worthington and Jack Albert combined to limit the Jaguars to 2 hits and 1 run over the final 6 innings.  Jack Whitlock chipped in with 2 singles and Drew Mabey played well defensively.  TE improves to 2 wins and one loss on the season.  The Cougars are at home on Monday versus Sage Park.  

  • The Cougar softball team defeated Ellington yesterday by a score of 7-3.  Bridget Doherty lead the offense with three hits while Olivia Strout, Alexa Kimball, Julissa Claudio, Abbie Taylor and Grace Benashski also contributed offensively.  Lyndsay Donston made a diving stop at shortstop, while Josey Foley and Lindsey Carter teamed up for a spectacular out at home plate.  The girls have a home game today after school, wish them luck!
