DADDY & DAUGHTER DANCE THANK YOU! I want to thank Jen Halvas, Whitney Shank, their wonderful group of volunteers for a truly amazing event last Saturday. It was so fun to see the dads and daughters dressed up in their denim, boots, and “diamonds”. Here is a link to a slideshow of pictures that I took before everyone arrived. You won’t recognize the school. Enjoy.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION and LABELS FOR EDUCATION -DUE FEBRUARY 23! Timber Trail receives 10 cents for every Box Top submitted! Last year, we raised over $1500 for our school, just by clipping Box Tops. The classroom that has collected the most Box Tops, wins a pizza party! Start clipping and saving those Box Tops. We will be starting a new campaign to collect Labels for Education - these "points" can be exchanged for various items our school could use - from basketballs to paint supplies to iPads! Labels can be found on over 2,500 foods and snacks that you already use, including Campbell's soup, V8, Goldfish, Emerald nuts, Pepperidge Farm cookies and Dannon yogurts and more. Click here to download a full list of products. You can send them in with your box tops and we'll do the rest! Please include the actual bar code Box Tops and Labels for Education due date is February 23!
A NOTE FROM MRS. SMITH, LIBRARIAN I am encouraging every child to get their own Douglas County Library card. The process is easy and opens up many opportunities for children. You will receive 2 small papers from me to complete this process. Please choose CASTLE ROCK instead of Castle Pines when you do the online registration. Return the completed white form to TTE by March 2. A Douglas County Librarian will be here all day for the book swap getting kids their cards and helping others with signing up for a card. Thanks, Mrs. Smith
BOOK SWAP COLLECTION THROUGH MARCH 5th In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday week, we are having a school Book Swap on Friday, March 6th! Perhaps your child may have outgrown or lost interest in some gently used books in your home? Please consider donating them to our 1st Book Swap! We will have collection bins in the TTE library. On March 6th all students will be able to pick a book to keep! Please go through your books and have your child bring in one (or many!) gently used books for the Book Swap. On March 6th, every child will choose one book regardless of how many he/she donates. With past experience at another school, we are generally low on books for the older grades, so please keep (appropriate) adult and reference books in mind too!
