Awesome turn out for Walk to School Day! Thank you Mrs. Crawford for all your hard work helping make this a safe and fun experience for our Wolf Pups!

Hello Timber Lakes families,

I hope you can join us on National Walk to School Day tomorrow! Please see the attached flyer for details.

The Wolf Pups have been learning about Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety. This is a good time to talk to your kids about Safe Routes home and check their bike helmets to make sure they fit. Bike helmets do have an expiration date. It’s 3 years after their “birth day” which is usually inside the helmet. Over time as the helmets sit in the garage, the Styrofoam becomes more brittle and not as safe. If your child ever does crash and their helmet cracks, make sure to replace it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!Hope to see you there (and take lots of pictures that day)

Thank you Mr. Scott for all that you do!

Our Fall Book Fair will be Oct. 9-13
The Book Fair will be open late on Thursday, Oct. 12th until 6:30 p.m. for families to come and shop after school/work/Ex Day.
Book Fair will not be open before or after school on any other days.
There is TAX added to book sales. Students have a hard time understanding why they don’t have enough money to buy a book that costs $9.99 if they brought $10. eWallet is a great way for students to shop without cash! More info below. There is also an option to round up sales for “All For Books” donation to avoid all of the coins.
Check with your child’s teacher to find out what day the class will be going to shop.

A message from Mrs. Tourne, today is the last day for donations to be doubled using the code LIFTOFF at checkout.

I want to make sure my book club students have the materials and experiences they need to succeed, so I just created a request on DonorsChoose:

https://www.donorschoose.org/project/battle-of-the-books/7824658/?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=sendFriend&utm_campaign=tpc_complete&utm_term=teacher_9272278&rf=sendFriend-dc-2023-09-tpc_complete-teacher_9272278&challengeid=22230290

Give to my book club students by September 22 and your donation will be doubled thanks to DonorsChoose. Just enter the code LIFTOFF on the payment page and you'll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50).

If you chip in to help my students, we'll be incredibly grateful.

Thanks so much,
Mrs. Tourne

Hi Wolf Pup Families 🐾
We are currently in the process of finding room parents for all of our wonderful TLE teachers!
So What exactly is a Room Parent? A Room Parent is someone who Helps and assists her/his teacher, communicates with other class parents for activities and such, and serves as a liaison between our PTA and parents.
If you are interested in becoming a room parent, please be sure to reach out to your child’s teacher.
We will be holding a “Welcome/Orientation“ room parent meeting VERY soon!

There’s many misconceptions about joining, so I wanted to share the top few I’ve heard.
Myth #1: Joining the PTA means I have to volunteer.
FACT: The PTA appreciates everyone's membership, whether or not you choose to volunteer. If you can't, your support as a member is enough!
Myth #2: I don’t have the time to join the PTA.
FACT: You can volunteer as little or as much as your schedule allows. You can choose to come to meetings, you can choose to volunteer for events, you can even choose to sit back and not participate at all. Totally your choice! Whatever you do will be greatly appreciated.
Myth #3: I’ll get roped into volunteering if I attend a PTA meeting.
FACT: Not at all! We just appreciate the chance to talk with you and get fresh, new ideas, and support!

Congratulations to Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Tourné and Support Person of the Year, Mrs. Esposito! Well deserved!!
