• Let’s get festive! TEMS is starting a Winter Themed Door Decorating Contest beginning December 2nd.  Door decorations should reflect student collaboration, be winter themed, and aim to celebrate our incredible community. Important notes: Door decorating may begin on December 2nd. Door decorating will be judged on Wednesday, December 18th. Awards will be announced on Thursday, December 19th. All decorations must be removed before we leave for break. One homeroom from each grade and one encore class will be selected to win. Homeroom winners will win a movie with popcorn scheduled in January. Doors will be judged with a score of 1-5 on the following criteria: Creativity, Relevance to Theme, Effort and Teamwork and Completion of Display.
