• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News. Today is Monday, October 31st. 

• The TEMS Boys Soccer team hosted one of two semi-finals last night taking on East Hartford on the Orchard Hill Soccer field last night.  East Hartford came out strong and surprised the Cougars taking an early lead early in the first half.  Once the game settled in, the Cougars were a different team.  Players were working hard around the ball and their efforts were soon rewarded.  Ben Perkins found himself alone in front of goal and tucked away his chance leveling the score at one a piece.  TE kept pressing.  The Falcons were constantly thwarting their attacks.  About 28 minutes into the half, Tanush Mohapatra found Chirag Balaji over the top and behind the defense.  He took two touches towards goal and buried the ball near post past the keeper. The halftime score was 2-1. The second half was just as dominant for the Cougars.  However, the Falcons challenged them time and time again.  Fran Linares, the Cougar's #1, parried two balls out and away from danger.  Luckily, the Cougars were able to keep their marginal lead when the Falcons struck the post midway through the half as well.  With the time winding down, the Cougars were able to keep the Falcons out of their defensive third and moved into the final as the final whistle blew.  The final score was 2-1 as well.  The CRAL Finals will be Thursday after school and TEMS will play Illing for the Championship.

• Cougar week - Day 1 all grades

• Veterans Day reminder from Jillian Venzie: November is National Native American Heritage Month.  Native American Heritage Month offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples' cultures, traditions, and languages throughout the Western Hemisphere.  In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, we’d like to acknowledge and honor the Podunk peoples and the homeland that we gather on daily when we attend our schools, as students, staff, and a community.  This land acknowledgement is something that is traditionally done by indigenous peoples to honor their territories and land as a way to pay respect to the history and tradition of their ancestors.

• Last spring, you may remember Mrs. Morgan-Hostetler coming on the air to talk about recent events that were taking place in our country and how TE was looking for students who were interested in helping our community engage in conversations about racism, the role of race in our society and student activism. We are looking to continue that group and add other students who are interested in brainstorming ideas on changes we can make at TE to be more inclusive and understanding of all who are part of our community. If you are interested, please join the “Make a Change” classroom using code:  c23gpkr Please do this by Tuesday, November 3^rd.  In the classroom, you will find information about our first meeting. If you are unsure of what this will be about, join the class, come to our first meeting and then decide if it is right for you. If you would like to ask some questions prior to the first meeting, please email Mrs. Kozik at [email protected]
