Teacher of the Year
Congratulations to Shari West, our TES Teacher of the Year! Mrs. West is a Kindergarten teacher and is loved by all. She is amazing. Thank you Mrs. West for all that you do to support our TES students and families!
SCA Canned Food Drive for the Henrico Christmas Mother
We need your help! We are on a mission to collect as many cans as we can to help those in need have food for the holidays. Our annual Christmas Mother canned food drive is scheduled from Wednesday, November 5 to Friday, November 14. Please send in nonperishables such as soup, tuna, pasta, sauce, macaroni and cheese, etc. We like to make this a fun little competition! The teacher whose class donates the most cans will be crowned our next Turkey King or Queen. Can you help us fight hunger this holiday season?
