TIMBER TRAIL AND FRESH HARVEST FOOD BANK PARTNERSHIP

We are pleased to share that TTE is kicking off our partnership with Fresh Harvest Food Bank this week!  Fresh Harvest Food Bank is a community food share organization. The Mission of Fresh Harvest Food Bank is to provide nutrition, support and education to families throughout Douglas County and the surrounding areas.  

Timber Trail will be doing monthly food/clothing drives.  Please check Thursday folders and posters around the school for info on monthly drives.

For  April/May we are collecting:  

* Spring and Summer clothing and shoes

* School Backpacks and any unused school supplies  

A fun activity would be to take some time with your kiddos to go through their closet and let them pick out things that don't fit (and are in good condition), so they have the feeling of giving back and donating! Adult clothing and shoes are welcomed as well. Fresh Harvest asks that only seasonal clothing items be donated as they do not have the space to store out of season clothing.

There are 2 large bins placed by the entrance of the school where items can be donated.

Each week we will need a family to volunteer to pick up the donated items and drop off at Fresh Harvest Food Bank on Park Meadows Drive (across from Sam's Club), Monday-Friday between 9:00am-3:00pm (closed Thursdays).  Please visit http://www.signupgenius.com/go/508044EAEAB22AB9-fresh to sign up.  Families, teachers and staff are welcome to participate!  

To receive philanthropy volunteer information about opportunities your family can join, please contact Anna Spitzer at agspitzer@yahoo.com.

For information on Fresh Harvest Food Bank or to volunteer with your family this summer, please visit http://www.freshharvestfoodbank.org/

SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR 2017-2018

Timber Trail Elementary offers the EduKit program as an option for our busy families to order supplies for the upcoming school year. The program is a time saving, simple way for you to ensure that your student has exactly the correct supplies needed to start the year off right. Avoid the back-to-school rush and going from store to store to get all of the required items. EduKit will take care of that for you.

Order by June 1 for best pricing and free shipping. Your child's kit will be on their desk the first day of school. To order:  

1. Go to www.edukitinc.com.

2. Pay online through EduKit's secure website.  

After June 1, kits may be purchased online through EduKit's Last Chance program until July 22. Last Chance kits will be delivered to your home shortly before school begins.

There is an additional fee for Last Chance kits.

Thank you for your participation in the EduKit program!

Contact Stacey Kimberly-kimberlyfamily1@gmail.com

For families that prefer to purchase their own school supplies, lists can be found on the TTE website > Registration tab.
