• This week is a Purple week. It is a Day 3 for Grade 6 and a Day 2 for Grades 7 & 8.

• On Tuesday afternoon the TE baseball team played Ellington at Duprey Field in front of a capacity crowd.  The bats came alive as the Cougars pounded out 16 hits en route to a 14 to 4 victory.  Leading the offensive barrage was Jake Palombizio with 3 hits and 5 RBI and Ethan Burke with 3 singles and 1 RBI.  Sam Balducci had 2 singles, Robbie Wunsch had a single and triple and Jacob Gombotz added a single and double.  Chris Strout, Drew Dargati and Justin Grilli chipped in with a double each.  On the mound, Balducci had a quality start and earned his second victory for the Cougars.  He did not allow a hit or run in his 3 innings of work. TE's season is not over yet.  The Cougars finished the regular season with 7 wins and 1 loss...good enough for first place in the league.  TE has finished in first place 4 out of the past 6 years.   The Championship Game is set...TE will face archrival Illing on Thursday afternoon in a battle between the top two teams in the league.  The game's start time is 3:45pm at Rotary Field.  Good luck boys!!!

• The girls' softball team traveled to Ellington Middle School for their final game of the season. In the first inning, TE went right to work scoring three runs, but Ellington answered back with three runs of their own. In the second inning, TE really opened it up loading the bases for Meghan Doherty who crushed the ball with a bases-clearing triple. Brianna LeGare, Emily Attenello, and Meghan Doherty all scored three times during the game; and in her final game at TE, Angelina Mundo scored four times. In the final inning, Mundo made an excellent play at shortstop, Taylor Kehoe tagged out a runner at third, and Doherty delivered the final strikeout of the season. The final score was TE 16 - Ellington 6.  The Cougars end their season with an overall record of 5 - 3. A special thanks to the eighth graders: Christianna Macchi, Siena Hart, Taylor Kehoe, and Angie Mundo.  Your leadership was an essential part of the team's success.  To all the Cougars, congrats on a great season.

• Ever wondered what your neighborhood would look like from the sky? Or maybe you’re curious about airplanes or what it’s like to be a pilot. If you’re shaking your head “Yes” and are between the ages of 8 and 17, you’re ready to take a free Young Eagles flight and see what real pilots do before, during and after a flight. Since 1992, more than 2.0 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight from EAA’s network of volunteer pilots. We would love for you to be on our next flight! A parent or guardian must be present in order to participate and registration is at the event. For more information about the Young Eagles Day contact:
