Take Good Care of our TCGIS Interns!
We are so grateful for our interns and all that they do to support our students and teachers. To show our appreciation, we have weekly snacks for them and a monthly intern breakfast, which serves as both professional development and a time for the whole group to enjoy some delicious food together! Interested in dropping off some snacks on a Monday to fuel our interns for the week? Click here to read more and sign up. Feeling like baking some muffins or an egg bake for an intern breakfast? Click here to sign up! Thank you so much for your support! |

Marker Recycling
All around TCGIS students and teachers are collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers will be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more! Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house. A drop-off box is located in the main office. In addition, a drop-off box will be present in the cafeteria during the Carnival of Cultures. Thank you in advance for participating! |
