Well, through the difficult times the power of positive thinking and prayer will get us through. I truly appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers for my mom and for Annelise's husband, Matt, during their struggles over the last few days. Also, Annelise and the boys got diagnosed with the flu, so keep the entire family in your prayers for fast healing! We are going to be doing our best to ensure things keep going strong with everything at TCE, but please know we may have a few meetings, evals, etc. in which we need some flexibility or rescheduling. We also have several of our assistant principals to help with any coverage as needed when we are out. I never worry about our campus as our TCE family is so strong and everyone always steps up to help out during times of need. Thank you again for your prayers and positive thoughts and please know how much we appreciate you!

Important Reminders
Reminder: Final Product for Cultural Plunge
A short presentation using some kind of technology to share out your experience (individual or with partner). Could be something where you use pictures, quotes, expressions, thoughts, etc. You may be creative in how you share out!
We will start having presentations at our January TLC meeting.
School Board Visit - Thursday, January 25th
Just a quick reminder that our school board will be visiting soon to see some of the amazing learning happening at TCE. They will be at our campus starting at 8:00am for about an hour, so if you have something special going on in your classroom that you would like to highlight, please let me know. I am planning on our robotics team possibly sharing a bit in Candace's room and would love to highlight any other learning or units you may have going on in your classrooms! This could also include anything happening with Tina in the library if you have coding/STEM or other stations happening that week.
TCE Potluck -Monday, January 22nd
Please sign up for this month's potluck! What a great time for some soups and salads to help to New Year's resolution goals or just because who doesn't love a good bowl of soup when it is cold outside!
"Who made you happy this week?"

Curriculum Connection - PLN
As a part of our book study that aligns with how we are connecting with others in our learning, please see the following info from our DLC's. This is a great opportunity (not a have to), but allows you to choose various areas of interest and connect with others across the district. I signed up and remember you can be as involved as you want in the process, but it's all about connecting!
