Turnpike Virtue of the Month - Honesty
Download and view our February/March Newsletter.
Valentines for Veterans
Gerald Arroyo & Kris McCarty, from Mrs. McNutt's class, were inspired by a book they read to do something positive. They "sponsored" the activity for the TES Family Circle. The students and staff of TES gathered in their Family Circles to make "Valentines for Veterans." Gerald & Kris made sure that the over 600 valentines were distributed to local veterans. Way to go boys! [View more photos from the event]
