TJ Star Report

March 8, 2018

Dear Team TJ!

HAPPY SUNDAY!   I don't know about you but last week was one for the books!  I left Friday EXHAUSTED! I know that all of you must have felt the same and I want to take a moment to THANK YOU all for all of your hard work, STARSTRUCK and the awards assemblies you have not been what they were without your support!  I wanted to share a special SHOUT OUT to both Rico and John!  They were both super flexible this week and we APPRECIATE you both SO much!

On that note, we need to also thank Mary Jo and Margaret!  They have fielded STARSTRUCK tickets, yearbook orders and much more over the last few weeks and they have done so with grace and a smile!  We appreciate you, and I for one KNOW that TJ would not be what it is without you!

Thank you for your daily commitment and love for our STARS and one another.  I am forever grateful to be a part of such a special team!

Kirsten Off Campus

I will be off campus Tuesday morning for a Leadership meeting at the District Office.  I will also be off campus Thursday and Friday.  I am attending the CUE Lead 3.0 conference.  Suzy will be the TIC and has a sub for Thursday and we are hoping for Friday, given the sub-slots.  Both Suzy and Kimber will be available if you need support.

Student Store

I know that the Student Store has been a bit bleak lately.  The store has been restocked this weekend and is ready for STARS to SHOP!

FRIENDLY REMINDER 

Please join Kimber and in Brent's room, on Monday, April 9, 2018, during PLC  for the Annual CAASPP training and preparation update.  We will begin the training at 2:00 pm.

I know that you all are working with your parent community to create wonderful baskets filled with JOY!  If you need a letter to send out please see below:

Please save the date, we hope to see you all there!  It should be great fun!  

Please rember:

Get your class involved!  Pick a theme and ask your parents, see what they can donate.  Some examples of basket themes are below.  Get creative and have fun!  For your help and generosity, we are again, as we have done in the past, offering 1 free ticket to the event ($40 value) per teacher if you donate a class basket!  P.S.  The ticket comes with 1 free drink ticket as well!! ;)  But that’s not all, we are also offering a contest for the Top Baskets!  We have 3 categories:  Most Creative Basket, Best Theme, and Best Value.  The PTC Board will vote and the 3 winners will win something special!  So start thinking about what you want to do.  I have put a Teacher Basket List up in the Teacher Lounge on the White Board so when you are ready, please write your theme next to your name.  We will be putting each Basket Theme Name and Teacher Name in our event program with a description of your baskets.  Can’t wait to see what you all come up with!  Thank you in advance for your participation!  We really appreciate you all!  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
