What's happening Around School...

Good to know!-
There have been some changes/increases in some of the prices in the cafeteria this year.  One change to take note of is the price of the meals, which include an entree, 8 oz. carton of milk, fruit and vegetable or side salad.  If you buy the "Lunch of the Day" entrée the price is $2.95.  If you buy any other entrée (cheeseburger, chicken patty, pizza or deli sandwich) the price is $3.25. Click this link  to see a full list of prices for 2016-2017. This link is found on the the left sidebar found on   front page of the  TEMS website . Click on "Lunch Menu."
 
Magazine Drives starts this month-
Our annual Magazine Drive run by the Student Council is a completely optional fundraiser available to TEMS students.  If students participate, they earn small prizes and incentives for themselves and can contribute towards raising a significant amount of money for the school.  This money is used to support school field trips, programs, clubs and competitions (such as assemblies, the spelling bee, geography bee, knowledge bowl, reading Olympics, MathCounts, robotics, Bulldog Ambassadors, and the Williamsburg trip... to name a few). Students will get more information sent home after the Kickoff assembly. You can pre register now for online orders. link

Kickoff Assembly:  Friday, October 7th
Collection Day 1:  Friday, October 14th
Collection Day 2:  Tuesday, October 25th
 
Online orders anytime! link
