With just over 180 ballots cast and a participation rate of just under 25%, the board election results are in! This year we had four candidates for three open seats. In no particular order, the three board members elect are:

The board would also like to thank Dianne Bell for running this year. Each candidate had great qualifications that would have added to the board, yet we only had three open positions, so we are grateful for her efforts and commitment to the school and our students.

Additionally, TCGIS thanks Rob Hennelly for his service on the TCGIS school board. As he rolls off the board, we hope he stays involved, sharing his wealth of experience with our school.

Thanks to a volunteer effort, we will be offering a few Summer Library Hours this summer! Families can come in on the dates listed below and check out German library books for a few weeks at a time. Catch up with school friends over the summer with play time on the playground after you find your books! *Please note that parents must accompany their children to the library.

To make this happen, we need 6-10 parent volunteers each time. If you can help, please sign up here or email Beki Cook.    

Our 8th graders have safely arrived in Berlin! Curious as to how they're doing? Check out their website here to follow them on their adventures! Content will be updated as received. 

 

Many Box Tops are set to expire on June 1. Please don't let them go to waste! More Box Tops means more cash for our school! Don't forget to ask friends and family for their Box Tops too!

Watch the green graffiti grow on the school building! 7th and 8th grade art students designed large scale MN, Germany and World maps and decorative stencils to paint the brick walls with moss paint - that will hopefully grow in over the next weeks. 5th graders colored doodle stones to hide in interesting spots on the school grounds for others to find. Next week 6th graders will complete their "yarn bombs" on the chain link fences - 3D words and installations made with yarn woven through the fencing and for the school community to enjoy.
