TJL Weekly Update

TJL
Good afternoon TJL Families,

As the November air grows colder, please ensure your child comes to school with a sweatshirt or jacket for outdoor recess. We love taking our students outside whenever possible!

Today is the LAST day to place an order for our TJL PTA Pie Sale. Please see the information and links below if you would still like to participate.

Our Reflections contest deadline has been extended to November 18th. We would love to see even more of our students share their creativity and talents!

Lastly, our HACO Thanksgiving Collection will be picked up on Tuesday. Donations can be sent in through Tuesday morning to be included in this important community fundraiser. Thank you, as always, for your generosity and support.

Enjoy the rest of your day,
Mrs. Washington
