We're excited to introduce this year's main fundraiser, the TES Castle Quest Fun Run. Our goal this year is to raise $28,000 for a new sports court to benefit ALL students at Tanglewood Elementary.
We’re excited for this fundraising experience because it offers 3 important things to our school community:
1. User-friendly fundraising platform
2.Character enrichment program
3. Fitness-focused event that includes ALL of our students
As a family, you will work together asking friends and family to donate on your student’s Donation Page at MyBooster.com. The best part is, you can still support our school just by SHARING about the fundraiser!
Students will also experience an amazing character enrichment program called “Castle Quest”, teaching students about how to be brave and live with character.
It's going to be a blast!
Welcome back to all of our Wildcats!
Reminder, the First Student bus tracking app is currently NOT available. We will update parents once all routes have been adjusted and the app is ready for use.

Mrs. Brice and Mrs. McNair's classes had an extra sweet Mardi Gras celebration! Not only did they learn about the traditions and colors of Mardi Gras, but each student was able to make a personal king cake. This will be a delicious memory they won't soon forget!
Art Room Happenings!
Ms. Cooper and Mr. Hindrich's classes used marbles to paint a beautiful background for their Jim Dine inspired pop art pieces. We can't wait to see the finished masterpieces!
This week is National School Counseling Week! We wanted to take a moment to say a big THANK YOU to our OUTSTANDING School Counselor, Angela Spurlin. Mrs. Spurlin works hard every day to care for our students' emotional and academic needs. We are so blessed to have her here at TES! Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Spurlin!
First grade students in Mrs. Boyle's class are beginning a new math module and they're kicking it off with working on efficiently counting by tens instead of ones.
Science All Around!
First graders used flashlights in the darkened Science Lab to direct light at dots on the walls to illuminate them. Then, they used mirrors to redirect the light to illuminate the dots again. Some groups even redirected the light twice! Tricky, but fun!
AFTERCARE (AER) is currently AT CAPACITY. Please e-mail jackoury@centralcss.org to be placed on the waiting list.
Art Room Happenings!
First graders are studying impressionist Claude Monet. They drew his garden and bridge with oil pastels on watercolor paper. Students used a wet on wet technique to apply the paint.
