• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 30, 1735, John Adams was born.  As the nation’s first vice president and second president, John Adams is one of the most significant personalities of the Revolutionary era.  In 1776, he anonymously published Thoughts on Government which contained ideas on a bicameral legislature, independent judiciary, and strong executive.  These ideas would eventually become the foundation of the American government under the U.S. Constitution.  Adams helped with the peace treaty between Great Britain and America at the end of the American Revolution.  John Adams was also a close friend to Thomas Jefferson during the first portion of the American Revolution.  Jefferson would serve as Adams’ Vice President, and at that time their personalities began to clash.  In 1800, Jefferson won the presidency and Adams retired from political life. Their bitterness withstood for years but eventually they reconciled their friendship.  Adams would live to see his son, John Quincy Adams, become president in 1825.  A year later, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson passed away on the same date, July 4, 1826…exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• Attention TE! Huge congratulations to our Lady Cougars soccer team, who brought home the CRAL Championship with a thrilling 3–0 victory over Tolland! Tolland brought the heat, but our Cougars answered back. Striker Mia LeRoy dominated the first half with two incredible goals—including an absolute rocket from outside the 18-yard box into the side netting, and another finish off a picture-perfect pass over the defense from Ashlyn Manser. Sydney Miller helped set up the offense with an assist before striking again in the second half with a goal of her own! Shutting down Tolland’s offense and holding tight was our powerhouse defense, led by outside backs Gianna Ayala and Sasha Staroverov, alongside center backs Rylie Goudreault, Grace Pedemonti, and Yissa Lin. With this championship win, the Lady Cougars cap off a PERFECT season with an unstoppable 13–0 record! A huge shoutout and congratulations to all of our 8th-grade players—thank you for an amazing season, and best of luck in the future! Go Cougars!

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 29, 1764, printer Thomas Green published the first issue of the Connecticut Courant, a weekly newspaper published out of Main Street in Hartford.  Without Thomas Green knowing it, this modest newspaper  would continue with uninterrupted publication for over 250 years becoming one of the longest lasting businesses in American history.  Known now as the Hartford Courant, it still enjoys statewide circulation and is an impressive accomplishment having started from a four-page periodical.  It remains as the longest-running continuously published newspaper in American history.  In sports, on October 29, 2003, LeBron James debuted in the NBA as a basketball prodigy.  Just a few months earlier, he had graduated from high school and he has gone on to have one of the most impressive careers in the sport and holds the distinction of being the league’s highest points scorer.  Famous birthdays today include pop culture phenom painter Bob Ross.  Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• The Timothy Edwards Boys Soccer team is creating some sort of dynasty as they were, once again, victorious in the CRAL Championship game last night.  It was a great affair as Illing was deserving to be in the championship with the season they had.  It was TE's night, however, in the third and final meeting of the season.  Here's how it played out:  The first half started pretty much as one would expect.  Both teams had a 'feeling out' process before Illing took a 1-0 lead.  They were quick to take advantage of a missed call which resulted in TE's defense becoming unbalanced.  Two passes later, Illing were behind the back line and their attacker was able to slip the ball past Will Woods in net.  They were hyped, as to be expected, but TE decided it was time to shift it up a gear.  Due to intensity of the game, Coach Chandler made few substitutions; the one he did make made all the difference in the game.  On came Callaway Crisp and he turned the match on its head quickly.  As TE continued to press in search of a goal, it was Crisp who was putting in a shift.  The ball was being knocked around on the left side of the pitch and it bundled out to Bryce Slogesky.  His sublime right footed service met Callaway's head so sweetly, the keeper could do nothing about it as the ball flew right past him into the net.  The score was now 1-1 and TE kept pressing.  Now with the ball on the right, Crisp and Nishil Gangarapu, combined on the top of the box and Crisp blasted it past the Illing goalkeeper, who didn't stand a chance at getting it.  It's 2-1 and TE is now feeling it.  No more goals in the first half and no more goals for Illing due to stifling defensive performances from Slogesky, Lucas Leacu, Aditya Pattnaik, Jayden Brown, Aadit Tarafder, before he came of with a slight knock.  In the second half, TE continued to look dangerous going forward, but had to be aware of Illing's counter attacking football.  The game wasn't in the bag until David Nguyen collected a missed clearance by Illing just outside the penalty area.  After some slick moves and three body shimmies later, he smashed his right footed effort past the flailing keeper for the final tally of the match.  The final score was TE 3 and Illing 1.  Coach Chandler would like to thank all the 8th graders, including those not already mentioned, Advaith Vyava, Josh Ritchie, Hamza Moustafa, Zavier Caouette, Brendt Mazzadra, Advith Rakesh, and Abhay Chidravalli for their work ethic and passion into making TE soccer is what it is.  A special thanks to all those who supported the team this year especially in the championship game.  Congrats on a great season gentlemen.

• Yesterday, the TE Field Hockey team wrapped up an incredible season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Stafford.

The game’s lone goal came in the fourth quarter on a beautiful shot by Captain Grace Cincotta, assisted by an amazing play from 7th-grader Laila Fraiser. Jadore Trejo Rosario also played a breakout game, effortlessly adapting to multiple roles on the field. Emily Faux out-foxed the Stafford offense from start to finish, locking down a fantastic shutoutIn game two, Lily Martinez got the Cougars on the board fast with a sharp goal off the pads. The team's strong possession—led by Penny S, Catherine D, Aubry N, Marin H, Maggie F, and Aubrey Z—kept the pressure on Stafford and protected goalie Ella Breton throughout the match.Coach Custer and Coach Wilkinson couldn't be prouder of this team. Huge thanks and shout out to Captain Grace Cincotta and 8th-grade leaders Ava Daugherty, Callie Grilli, Addy Stats, McKenna Craig, Maddie Kapralas, and Cassidy Flynn for their hard work and dedication. Thank you for a great season. Together Relentless!!

• Last night, the TE Boys Soccer team secured their place in the CRAL final by beating JFK of Enfield, 5–1. Surprising to everyone, TE fell behind 1–0 when JFK scored off a quick counter attack. It was one of the only times all season in which TE has trailed in a match. The Cougars turned it around quickly after David Nguyen showed some individual brilliance and scored to make it 1–1. Victor Morsbach made it 2–1 after he was put through on a breakaway by Nishil Gangarapu. After running about 50 yards with the ball, Morsbach calmly finished past the keeper as the ball trickled in over the goal line. Gangarapu Made it 3-1 for TE, with a sublime free kick over the Patriot goalkeeper. At a halftime, Coach Chandler praised his team for their comeback and urged them to continue attacking in the second half. They were able to add two more goals in the second 35 minutes, the first coming from Josh Ritchie, as he was like a pickpocket in Barcelona. He stole the ball from the Patriot defender and finished his chance for a three goal lead. Callaway Crisp rounded out the scoring when he finished his chance off rebound in front of goal. TE will host Illing on Wednesday after school for the CRAL championship match. Come out and cheer on the boys.

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 26, 1774, the First Continental Congress sent a respectful petition to King George III stating that had it not been for the acts of oppression by the British Parliament, the American colonists would still stand behind British rule.  Exactly one year later, King George III addressed the British Parliament by reading a “Proclamation of Rebellion” and urged Parliament to move quickly to end the revolt and bring order to the colonies.  That did not work out well.  In fact, on October 26, 1776, Benjamin Franklin who had been named as an agent of a diplomatic commission by the Continental Congress, set sail from Philadelphia to France in order to negotiate an alliance and treaty.  Though it took some time to convince France of an alliance, this was eventually secured and would help the Patriots eventually secure victory during the American Revolution.  On October 26, 1825, the Erie Canal which connected the Great lakes with New York City officially opened.  This dramatically increased the commercial success of New York city and also inspired canal construction throughout the United States for the next few decades.  Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• It’s time for “this date in history.” On October 21, 1967, nearly 100,000 people gathered to protest the American war effort in Vietnam.  Thousands of those protesters marched to the Pentagon to ask for an end to the conflict.  At that stage in the war, it was the most dramatic sign of declining support by the American public for the U.S. in Vietnam.  On October 21, 1940, American novelist Ernest Hemingway published one of his most acclaimed novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls. In pop culture, on this day in 1958, the name “tater tots” was copyrighted by the Ore-Ida company.  Originally created as a way to utilize scrap pieces of potato, tater tots became an instant hit when it was served as a side dish for breakfast.  Today, tater tots remain a popular form of potato for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.   Famous film releases on this date include Mystic Pizza starring Julia Roberts and filmed in Mystic, Connecticut. Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• In Boys soccer news, TE won their game last night 6-1 over Sage Park Middle School.  After going down early in the contest 1-0 after giving away a penalty, TE turned on the jets and blew the doors off the Chargers the rest of the way.  Zavier Caouette scored off a great individual effort for the first goal for TE on the night.  He then turned provider as he found Nishil Gangarapu who calmly chipped the keeper.  This was after a beautiful sequence of play on the left side of the field.  A couple combinations later and the ball was in the back of the net.  Shortly thereafter, the roles were reversed.   Gangarapu blasted a ball past the defense and Caouette ran past the defense to slot it home for the 3-1 advantage.  Sandwiched between two own goals from the Chargers, Victor Morsbach found his chance and took it well.  After a small scrum near the Changer keeper, Morsbach pounced on the loose ball and finished it into the open goal.  TE's defense held strong from the early penalty and Sage Park barely had a chance the rest of the match.  Strong play from Aditya Paittmaik, Aadit Tarafder, Lucas Leacu kept the Chargers in the stable without any room to run.  TE's keepers on the night, John Tammo and Brendt Mazzadra held down the fort nicely as well.  Next up, the Cougars have their last regular season home game against, you guessed it, JFK for the third time this season.  If TE gets the result they are hoping for, they will be the top seed in the CRAL playoffs and will host a playoff game on Monday.  Good luck boys. 

• Huge congratulations to the TE Lady Cougars soccer team on their spectacular 4-0 victory against Sage Park Middle School yesterday! The game started off as a tense defensive battle, with both teams locked in a 0-0 tie at halftime. But in the second half, our Lady Cougars completely took over the field! Mia LeRoy broke the scoreless deadlock in the 28th minute, burying one in the back of the net to ignite the offense. Shortly after, left wing Kennedy Smith scored the second goal thanks to a beautiful assist from midfielder Sydney Miller. Olivia Parente kept the momentum rolling, striking next off another crisp assist from Sydney Miller! Finally, Alyssa Cherian sealed the dominant 4-0 win by knocking in the fourth goal off a perfect corner kick from Ashlyn Manser.What an incredible team effort! The Lady Cougars wrap up their regular season tomorrow right here at home as they take on JFK Middle School. Let’s pack the stands and cheer them on! Good luck, ladies, and go Cougars!

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 20, 1950, a crowd of several hundred Connecticut residents observed the unveiling of a new, eight-foot tall statue of Thomas Hooker, also nicknamed the “founding father” of Connecticut.  This nickname came as a result of his founding the settlement of Hartford in 1636.  Naming the new town Hartord after the old English village of the same name, Thomas Hooker led the colony for ten years until he passed away in 1647.  While leading the settlement, Thomas Hooker being a Puritan minister delivered a sermon on authority and government in Hartford where he famously declared “the foundation of authority is laid firstly in the free consent of the people.”  This quote is noted by many historians as one of the first documented expressions of American democracy. Famous birthdays on this date include baseball player Mickey Mantle, singer Tom Petty, and Snoop Dogg.  Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• The TE Boys soccer team continued its winning ways by taking down East Hartford last night 5 goals to 0. The first half had nearly everything except the goals.  Only one was scored in the opening half and it was from TE's talisman David Nguyen.  Zavier Caouette, who has moved into a more attacking role, found himself on the edge of the box with the ball rolling slightly away.  He swiftly tapped it over to Nguyen who shifted one way, then another and stroked his shot ever so smoothly into the side netting, freezing the keeper in his tracks.  The second half was way more one sided and TE capitalized on their chances in front of goal.  Caouette found Nguyen about 30 yards from goal who then decided to matters into his own hands.  He shifted three or four defenders and once again found the side netting, this time on the other side of the goal.  After a relentless continuous attack, Nishil Gangarapu provided a silky assist to Jayden Brown who was lurking in infront of goal.  After Gangarapu's dribbling wizardry, Brown was standing on the doorstep just waiting to tap home the cross.  The Cougars weren't done just yet.  Aydin Sebro scored a brace with his two goals on opposite sides of John Tammo's left footed strike.  Sebro's first was off a rebound, so no assist was credited, but his second goal was assisted by Callaway Crisp from a corner kick.  Tammo's goal was assisted by Will Woods, TE's starting goalkeeper, though turned center back in the second half.  All in all, it was a good effort from the boys.  Congrats and good luck in your penultimate home game today against Sage Park after school. 

• Last night, the TEMS girls' cross-country team competed in their final regular-season meet against Tolland, and the girls came away with an impressive 21–39 victory!

• It’s time for “this date in history.” On October 23, 1850, the first National Women’s Rights Convention began.  Held in Worcester, Massachusetts, more than 1,000 delegates from 11 states arrived for the two-day conference.  This was the first of several conventions as the fight to earn women the right to vote was led by famous suffragists including Elizabeth Cody Stantion and Susan B. Anthony.  Though it would take several more decades, it was the work done at these conventions that helped pave the way to what would eventually become the 19th amendment. In pop culture, On October 23, Apple introduced the iPod, a portable media player that became one of the most successful and revolutionary products of the early 2000s.  Famous birthdays on this date include TV host Johnny Carson, author Michael Crichton, film director Ang Lee, and singer Weird Al Yankovic. Thanks for listening to this date in history. 

• Here is your TE Cougars sports update! Yesterday afternoon right here at home, your TE girls soccer team delivered an absolute masterpiece on the pitch, shutting out Tolland Middle School with a dominant 3 to 0 victory! The offense was firing on all cylinders! Forward Mia LeRoy was unstoppable, netting two incredible goals, while Ashlyn Manser added to the scoreboard by bending a beautiful corner kick right off a Tolland defender and straight into the back of the net! Sydney Miller played a fantastic game up front, unlucky not to score after rattling the crossbar a couple of times, and Olivia Parente brought non-stop energy and hustle all game long!Over on the defensive side, TE was a total brick wall. Goalkeeper Mikaela Leone completely shut Tolland down to lock in the clean sheet. Even when Tolland managed to hit the crossbar four times in a wild second half, our defense refused to break! Huge shoutouts to defenders Sasha Staroverov, Rylie Goudreault, Yissa Lin, and Grace Pedemonti for their relentless play. And welcome back to Taya Deitelbaum, who made her big first-half debut on defense after coming off a fractured wrist!Way to go, Cougars! Weather permitting, the girls head to Manchester today to take on Illing Middle School. Let's wish them the best—good luck, ladies!

• Last night, the Timothy Edwards boys soccer team traveled to Tolland to take on the Eagles in a hotly contested CRAL battle. Much of the first half, Timothy Edwards looked flat as Tolland was able to keep them off their game. Too many touches from players caused numerous turnovers and allowed the Eagles the ability to counter attack at will. Fortunately, with about 10 minutes to go in the half, Josh Ritchie was able to find Avyan Yerragondu for the first tally of the contest. Additional to the goal, it was Yerragondu’s first touch of the game and boy did he finish his chance well. At halftime, Coach Chandler urged his players to take more responsibility and be tougher in their play during the second half. In the second half, the possession stats were mostly one-sided in TE’s favor but the goals were still amiss. A second goal was scored however, when Zavier Caouette crossed the ball into a sea of people in front of goal. Somehow the ball trickled in off Aditya Pattnaik for the two goal advantage. After several changes from both teams, the game finished in TE’s favor 2–0. The Cougars play Illing today after school. This is the only opponent to hand TE a loss so far this year.  So come out to cheer on the boys and help them avenge their only loss of the season. Good luck boys!

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 14, 1947, American test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier in an aircraft.

• It’s time for “this date in history.” On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the first development of an American naval force, a precursor to what would eventually become the United States Navy. On October 13, 1792, the cornerstone for the White House was affixed.  The White House has served as the home and central place of government since 1800 when John and Abigail Adams moved in toward the end of his term in office.  The White House is one of the most famous and easily recognizable home structures in the world.  On early maps, it was referred to as the “President’s Palace,” then named the Executive Mansion in 1810.  It was referred to as the White House for several decades due to its distinctly contrasting color compared  to the red brick buildings nearby.  In 1901, it was officially named the “White House” under the Teddy Roosevelt administration. In pop culture, on October 13, 1893, the “Happy Birthday” song was copyrighted.  The song’s melody comes from the song “Good Morning to All”, written in 1893.  Finally, on October 13, 1903, the Boston Americans defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the first modern World Series. Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 9, 1635, Roger Williams was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony.  He later founded the colony of Rhode Island. On October 9, 1888, the Washington Monument opened to the public.  Built in honor of President George Washing, construction began in 1848 and was not completed until 1884. It remains as a signature monument in our nation’s capital.  On October 9, 1936, the Boulder Dam on the Arizona-Nevada border began generating electricity for large areas including the city of  Los Angeles. The Dam was later renamed as the Hoover Dam in honor of President Hoover when the project originally began during his presidency.  At the time, it was the largest dam in the world and surpassed the Washington Monument in height.  In addition to providing electricity, it helped tame the Colorado River helping support western farmers, ranchers, and city folks.  Water was now able to reach areas where it was needed for miles in a controllable and predictable fashion. Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 8th, 1908, the city of Hartford concluded a three-day celebration recognizing the completion of the Hartford Bridge.  The bridge was built after the original wooden bridge was destroyed due to a fire in 1895.  When constructed, it stood at nearly 1,200 feet in length and was one of the largest stone arch bridges in the world. In 1922, the bridge was renamed as the Bulkeley Bridge in honor of Morgan Bulkeley, former U.S. Senator and governor of Connecticut who was one of the biggest supporters of the Hartford Bridge Project. On October 8, 1956, the first fully enclosed and climate-controlled shopping mall opened in Edina, Minnesota.  The Southdale Mall was built to attract shoppers during extremely cold winters.  The mall contained dozens of stores, a skating rink, an auto showroom, and a grocery store.  The mall still exists today. Famous birthdays include political activist Jesse Jackson, actors Chevy Chase, Sigourney Weaver, and Matt Damon. Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Reed would like to say thanks for the many students and staff that helped make the "Starts With Hello" week a success! We enjoyed seeing so many of you greeting each other with kindness on our name tag day. We also loved the beautiful pinwheels that were made to celebrate the International Day of Peace! Finally, the chalk art brought smiles as people entered the building, helping to start the day off right! We would like to highlight some fabulous people who gave extra time and effort: Thanks to Owen K, Peyton S. and TJ S. from the boys cross country team, the entire field hockey team, along with Coaches Custer and Wilkenson, all of the students who helped to plant the pinwheels, Jack G from Emerald, Ellie R.B from Evergreen, Maggie from Ruby and finally Mr. Klein's Period A class who rocked it by assembling ALL of the pinwheels so that they could be planted outside!  

• Yesterday, the girls' soccer team faced off against JFK Middle School in an absolute nail-biter of a game! JFK came out strong in the first half, putting on heavy pressure. Even though TE created several great scoring chances and took multiple shots, they just couldn't find the back of the net, leaving the score locked at 0 to 0 at halftime. Throughout the match, center midfielders Ashlyn Manser, Olivia Parente, and Yissa Lin played phenomenal soccer, controlling the middle of the field and setting up key plays.The intense battle continued 20 minutes into the second half until forward Mia LeRoy broke the deadlock, finding the back of the net to put TE on the board! Just four minutes later, right wing Sydney Miller answered with a beautiful goal of her own to make it 2 to 0. A special shout-out goes to forward Alyssa Cherian for her fantastic play and non-stop hustle up front!JFK didn't go down without a fight, striking back two minutes later to make it 2 to 1 with about six minutes remaining. That’s when TE's stellar defense—Gianna Ayala, Rylie Goudreault, Grace Pedemonti, and Sasha Staroverov—worked their butts off under the highest pressure they've faced all season! Alongside keeper Mikaela Leone, who came through with key saves, the defense held the line to secure the thrilling 2 to 1 victory! Congratulations on an incredible win! TE travels to East Hartford Middle School this Friday—good luck!

• Last night, Timothy Edwards Boys Soccer team traveled to Enfield to take on JFK Middle School. After a long bus ride, the Cougars came out eerily slow and sometimes looked like a bunch of deer in headlights. JFK had the best chances early in the half, as TE struggled to find their way. The lush surface should have been ideal for TE to string passes together, however, the wind played apart in the possession going toward goal. A couple chances here and there were missed thus keeping the game scoreless at halftime. Coach Chandler must have inspired the team at halftime because the Cougars came out with a fire in their belly. Intense pressure led to the first and only goal of the contest when David Nguyen cheekily found Nishil Gangarapu who calmly finished in front of net. The defense, led by Zavier Caouette, Aadit Tarafder, Aditya  Pattnaik, Nathan Oommen and Jayden Brown held strong to secure the three points and the win. The Cougars don’t play again until the middle of next week away at Tolland. Good luck boys.

• It’s time for “this date in history.”  On October 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice becoming the first African American member of the Court.  On October 2, 1959, the iconic sci-fi series The Twilight Zone aired for the first time. On October 2, 1965, the University of Florida Gators hosted the LSU Tigers in a college football game.  Playing in temperatures topping 100 degrees, the Florida players tested a newly created sports drink made in the university’s own science labs.  A mix of salts and sugars that could be easily ingested proved helpful in hydrating players and was also attributed to the team’s success when playing in intense heat conditions.  Nicknamed “Gatorade”, it would go on to become a mass-market success.  By 2015, the royalties to those who invented Gatorade surpassed $1 billion.  Happy birthday to fashion designer Donna Karan, singer Sting, and talk show host Kelly Ripa. Thanks for listening to this date in history.

• Last night, the Timothy Edwards Boys Soccer team traveled to Sage Park on Windsor to take on the Chargers in a CRAL conference battle. The first half was lackluster at best, with TE struggling to string mini passes together. Yes, they did have chances, however, they were not able to put many on target. Sage Park had two strong chances, but they were easily sorted by the Timothy Edwards defense. The second half, the players were rejuvenated, and it showed in their play. The field was tilted in their favor as the final score of 4-0 didn’t seem possible initially.  Nishil Gangarapu started the second half scoring with an unassisted goal. A series of events prior left TE scratching their heads, but Gangarapu was cool inform of the net.  Advith Rakesh scored shortly thereafter, with an assist off of goalie punt from Will Woods. Avyan Yerragondu then scored a cheeky flick over the Chargers keeper off a feed from David Nguyen.  Nguyen rounded out the scoring with a sublime finish of his own. His blast from 20 yards froze the keeper in his boots. All in all, it was a good result for the Cougars. Congrats boys and keep up the good work! 

• Yesterday, your Lady Cougars dominated Sage Park Middle School in an awesome 5 to 1 victory! Leading the offense was forward Mia LeRoy, who netted 2 goals!

Sage Park managed to score late in the second half on a penalty kick, but our defense kept them locked down for the rest of the match.Even through a tough and physical match, TE showed amazing resilience, played with total respect, and fought fiercely until the final whistle.Their next game is Tuesday, October 6th, right here at TE against JFK Middle School from Enfield. Pack the sidelines and come cheer them on! Go Cougars!

• The TE Field Hockey Team came away with a hard fought loss  2-1 against a very fast and aggressive Suffield team.  TE scored in the first half but couldn't hold on to the lead as Suffield scored in the 2nd half and then again minutes before the end of regulation play. Charlotte Addington scored the lone goal for TE off an assist from Maddie Kapralos.  8th graders, Callie Grilli, Grace Cincotta, Ava Daugherty,and  Addie Statz played their hearts out the entire game.  Emily Faux had some beautiful  saves in goal.
