FALL FESTIVAL KUDOS! Logowear

Thank you, TCS Community, for a fantastic Fall Festival on Sunday! Special thanks to the Parent Association, all of our Room Parents, and our parent and teacher volunteers.

Additional thanks to everyone who made toy donations to Fall Festival. The leftover toys from the prize booth will be donated later this week to Rady Children's Hospital.

And finally, EXTRA BIG thanks to event co-chairs Amy Conover and Danielle Shapero-Rudolph for making the event run so smoothly and for making it a huge success. Bravo! We all had a blast.

Annual Fund Begins!

The 2009-10 TCS Annual Fund has launched! We invite every family to contribute to the Annual Fund, which supports the faculty, staff and programs that makes TCS such an incredible school. Together, we strive to raise $150,000 to support the school's current operating budget and achieve 100% participation from our community.  Each classroom that reaches 100% participation will have a special celebration later in the year.
