We had a great time in our PJs today and raised $308.44 for the United Way. That puts us at $1,168 for our total raised so far! That's only $332 away from our goal of $1,500. Tomorrow is Gum Day! Bring any amount of money to receive a piece of gum. Students give their donation to their teacher in the morning. All proceeds go to the United Way and keeping the trophy at TNES!
Tomorrow, we kick off our United Way Spirit Week with Pajama Day (no slippers, please). Students can donate any amount of money to participate each day. Students will give their donation to their teacher to participate in that day's theme each morning. Last week, we raised $859.36 for the United Way with our Change Challenge. The winning grade will be announced tomorrow during Morning Community & they will receive a soda float party later this month. Our goal is to raise at least $1,500. We are over half way to our goal. Let's keep going so we can keep the trophy at TN!

It's that time of year again - United Way campaign time! This week, Tecumseh North is gearing up for a Change Challenge like no other. As the reigning champions we're determined to keep the trophy right where it belongs - at Tecumseh North! Here's how the Change Challenge works: Pennies, $1 bills, $1 coins, and $20 bills will add points to our grade level's total. Nickels, dimes, and quarters will subtract points from our competitors! Let's show our school spirit and our commitment to the United Way. Bring in those coins and bills, and let's keep that trophy at Tecumseh North. Together we can make a difference in our community!

Due to tightening safety standards within the building, the main exterior door will no longer be unlocked in the morning prior to 8am. It will unlock at 8am and students may enter the foyer only at that time. The main interior doors will be unlocked, like normal, at 8:10am. This means that students will not be able to enter the foyer until 8am. Numerous communication has been sent out regarding not having supervision prior to 8:10am, when students can fully enter the building. While they still cannot enter the building until 8:10am due to no supervision, they may be in the foyer starting at 8am. Please be aware, however, that staff are not on-duty to supervise students in the foyer from 8-8:10am. Lastly, please do not drop your student off before 8am. They will not be able to get into the foyer until 8am and will have to wait outside, which is not safe. Please call the office with questions/clarifications or to receive information for before school care with BGC at 785-379-5910. Thank you!

Panthers--
We have had a great first day of school! It's been so good to see our new and returning students. I know we are going to have a great year!
Just a reminder that our school hours have changed. School starts at 8:30am and ends at 3:35pm. Doors still open at 8:10am. For this week, we will start dismissal early to ensure all students get home how they are supposed to. Starting next week, we will start dismissal at 3:35pm.
Tomorrow, we will start our normal morning routine. If students are eating breakfast, they will go to the cafeteria when they get in the building. If students are not eating breakfast, they will go to the gym. Students have their breakfast card zip tied to their backpacks. Please leave them on their backpacks so we can use them for breakfast.
If you have any questions, please call the office at 785-379-5910.
Thank you!
