• Our TE cheer team has had a busy weekend!  On Friday, cheer teams from Vernon, Manchester, and Ellington came to TE for the first annual Regional Showcase.  The TE cheerleaders wowed the crowd with their cheers, jumps, tumbling, and competition routine.  The girls on the team received numerous individual awards and the whole team received the Best Stunt award for their routine and Sharpest Motions for their cheer. Then on Saturday morning, the team traveled to East Haven High School for the New England Cheer Association competition taking  1st place as a middle school in their division.  Way to represent!  Also at the competition, 5 girls from TE, Gianna Santagata, Taylor Johnson, Aubrey Pugrab, Jocelyn Veilleux, and Monet Dufrense, competed in a stunt division taking 1st place again! Great job Cougars!

• We are back celebrating Black History Month. Today we recognize the profound impact of Fredrick Douglas. Frederick Douglass changed the lives of many people within the United States as well as Ireland. You cannot talk about abolishing slavery without mentioning Frederick Douglass as he was one of the most well-known abolitionist leaders of his time. Seeing people suffer from poverty in Ireland and slavery in the United States motivated Douglass to fight to abolish slavery and fight for social justice.
