• Hi everyone! Its time for the Walk A Thon! We need your help to raise $25,000 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. So far we have raised $6,500.  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 in Timothy Edwards boys soccer team traveled to East Hartford to take on the Falcons, in yet another CRAL battle. It was a highly contested affair, with several fouls occurring in the first half. The Cougars came away with a 1-0 halftime lead after Mateo Heredia scored on a nice through ball from Zayd Sebro. Coach’s halftime talk inspired the players as they came out to outcompete their immediate opponents. Their persistence and hard work paid off as Aaron Cherian played the ball across the box to Heredia for his second goal of the game. Heredia became the provider for the third goal as he headed a ball toward Garren Kerachsky for the final tally of the game. “The Cougars 3–0 win was well-deserved” Coach Chandler said. Up Next for the boys is a game on Tuesday against Ellington of next week.
  

• The TE girls soccer team faced East Hartford yesterday. The scorching heat didn't stop the Lady Cougars from beating East Hartford 9-0. The goals were scored by Journey, Julia Ayotte, Maddie Carpenter, Liston and more. Goal keeper Victoria Mackie helped the Cougars keep a clean sheet with an outstanding performance. The Cougars will face a tough competition on Tuesday at home against Ellington.
  

• The field hockey team had a tough loss against JFK of Enfield by a score of 3-1.  Tori Yelle hit a rocket shot in the corner of the goal from an assist by Ainslee Deptula to tie the game one to one.  TE couldnt come up with another goal but goalies Allie Scott and Megan Aparo did an amazing job in the blaring sun stopping the JFK attack.   Kendal Heath, Molly Willard, Maggie Melia, and Sahasra Natti did a great job defending in the circle.  Prithi Suriyakumarr, Emily Carmon, Vanessa Primavera, controlled the midfield while Joanna Halle, Lilah Bulduc, and Kylie Duval had to work hard battling the sun to get shots off on goal. In the second game TE came away with a 0-0 tie playing more experienced players.  Stella Swierbutowicz, Reagan Burnham, Ella "Bug" Allore and Tatum Cote did a great job pushing the ball up the field with tenacity and speed.  Abby Roth, Ellie Kozikowski, Natalie Goodrich, Ipshita Singh did a fantastic job in their very first TE field hockey game.  Great job Girls! TE plays  against Somers today at home.  Hope to see you there.
