Picture Day is Coming-Sept. 10
School Picture Day is September 10. Pictures will be taken in PE classes. Those students not in PE classes will have an alternate time to take pictures. All SCSD safety procedures will be in place, which include having students remain masked until it is time to take their photo and photos will be in the Learning Commons with all doors open. If your child is unable to take a photo on Sept. 10, there will be an opportunity to get a photo during the make up picture day. To order online, go to mylifetouch.com and use the code EVTVJF378
TLM PTA News
Join the PTA!
This year, your support of the PTA will help us create the campus environment that all our kids have missed out on last year. We are working hard to focus our efforts on programs and activities that will make a positive difference for the kids in our school and enhance their educational experience. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $65,000 to help us do this and our ask is $250 per family. Your financial support, at whatever level your family can give, helps ensure we have the funds required to continue to support Classrooms and Teachers, Community Building Events, Art and Special Programs, and Advocacy efforts across our district and throughout the state.
Meanwhile, to celebrate our school spirit and “Better Together!” campaign, we will have a TL-Mariposa T-shirt (approved for TL PE wear!). Sponsors will be recognized on the back of the shirt and receive complimentary shirts for their immediate family. Additional sponsor benefits outlined HERE.
