Terra Centre Families, 

Thank you to everyone for helping promote Raise Craze this year. We SMASHED our fundraising and acts of kindness goals! With 37% of the student body participating, we raised more than $22,600 and performed 616 acts of kindness! Our goal was $15k, and so this will be a huge boost to programs this year. 

As promised, we will be holding a school wide morning meeting to kiss a pig (yes, a real one) since we exceeded our Acts of Kindness. 

Congratulations to the following students/classes:

• Top AOK student: Alyssa N. - 19 (Ms. Hardy) - Principal for the (half) Day
• Top Fundraising Class: Kindergarten - Ms. Nevin - $3,391 (Bonus STEAM session with Ms. Jewell)
• Top AOK students per grade (lunch with the Principal/AP)
•  Pre-K - Benjamin H.S. - 6 (Ms. Grove) 
•  Kindergarten - Alyssa W.- 14 (Ms. Allan) 
•  1st Grade - Jack B. - 11 (Ms. Lias) 
•  2nd Grade - Lily B. - 13 (Ms. Olweiler) 
•  3rd Grade - Alyssa N.- 19 (Ms. Hardy) 
•  4th Grade - Abigail E. - 17 (Ms. Fairchild)

Academic Matters

At the last School Board meeting, a new feature was introduced called Academic Matters. During this portion of the Board meeting, updates will be provided on important academic topics. At the November 3 meeting, Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid shared some common misconceptions concerning the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessment. Watch the presentation on YouTube.

Our community is invited to attend our Fall Chorus Concert titled "Word Collectors," taking place in the Terra Centre Gym on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 7:00-7:30 p.m. Terra Centre Tigers are collecting words and sharing them through music.
