• Hi everyone! Its time for the Walk-A-Thon! We need your help to raise $25000 for the school. If we do, the whole school will enjoy Kona Ice following the Walk-a-thon. And even better, if we raise $30,000, Officer Owens will be slimed!!  Please have your parents/guardians register you ASAP so we can reach our goal. Information for registration can be found on the TEMS homepage. So far we have raised $6500.  It seems that 6th grade has raised the most so far. Keep up the good work, you are on your way to earning recess!

• Last night the Cougars Boys soccer team hosted the Chargers of Sage Park and came away with a resounding victory.  Two goals From Adam Elsendyouney sparked the Cougar attack.  Roby Sayavong scored the first goal, his first goal on a Cougar uniform, as did Drew Boehm, who scored the final tally of the night.  In the middle of the two finishes, Aaron Cheriha, Zayd Sebro, Logan Jackson, and Dillon Leacu all had a goal on the night.  The defense was never tested as Aniron Pal posted his third shut out of the young season.  Up next the Cougars have a slightly harder challenge when they travel to East Hartford after school tonight.  Good luck boys.
  

• The Lady Cougars played an unbelievable game yesterday at sage park middle school.
