Help us "rake it in" with our Fall Fundraiser!
|
We are thrilled to announce that we are launching our Fall Fundraiser, running from now through November 13th, with a goal of raising $22,000! This year, in response to your feedback, we are introducing a donation-only format making it easier than ever for you to contribute without the need for participation or volunteering—ideal for our busy lives! We believe this simplified approach will inspire greater involvement, and we’re excited about the potential for greater donations.
In previous active fundraisers, around 195 participants contributed approximately $19,000, which helped support essential initiatives such as experiential learning, classroom charging stations, and indoor/outdoor learning enhancements such as upgrades to the Discovery Garden.
By choosing to donate, you significantly impact and enhance the TCES educational experience. This year, we’re aiming for at least 230 participants to help us reach our goal of $22,000. We invite everyone in our school community to contribute, as every donation—no matter the size—brings us closer to our goal. Feel free to share the donation website link with friends and family.

Celebrating the Power of School Lunches
Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.
This School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. Also, new menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
