• Good morning everyone. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Please be seated.

• Welcome back to another edition of TETV News. Today is Wednesday November 10th and its Patriotic Day. 
  

• In honor of Veterans Day, today we will share a poem that was written during World War 1 by a soldier serving in the War. 

 In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields. 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

• The TEMS community is organizing a Thanksgiving Food Drive! Our hope is to provide a complete dinner basket for 20 South Windsor families to enjoy on Thanksgiving, so we need your help! Please bring in any of the following: canned fruits/vegetables, stuffing mix, mashed potatoes, pie crust mix/fillings, bread/dessert mixes or gravy by November 15^th. Drop off boxes are at A, B and C  entrances.  You can also give a $1 donation to your homeroom teacher. Thank you very much for your generosity!
