Tuscany Heights Elementary School
September 15, 2013
Parents,
It has been a great week! Thank you for sharing your children with us. Also, thank you for donating to our Campin’ for Cash Greenback Fund. I look forward to camping on the roof if it means funds for our students! If you haven’t and would like to do so, please see the PTA section below.
Also, a big event coming up this week is a meeting with Dr. Gottardy regarding Transformation in NEISD. We are working hard to embrace the classroom shift of incorporating technology to making it the norm for our classrooms, asking ourselves as educators how we can use it for each lesson! Please join us at one of his meetings to hear about the transformation process. Most of our T.H.E.
staff plans to attend the Sept. 19th. We’d love for you to come out and join us! We will be sporting our Orange PTA Spirit Shirts so that we stand out. RSVPs are expected as there will be refreshments.
Thank you for supporting our staff, school, and district!
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Campin' for Cash 4th Annual Greenback Fundraiser, now-Sept. 26th!: Support Tuscany and PTA and donate to our annual greenback fundraiser. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for our fun and educational PTA programs like Field Day, Red Ribbon Week, Field Trips, T.H.E. PTA Presents…, Bike Rodeo, and many, many more. Thank you to all you have already donated and helped us reach $6,000! If we raise $10,000 for Tuscany, our principals and Tusky will camp out on the roof of our school! For our Tigers to earn a pajama day at school, we need to raise $7, 500! Help support our great programs by donating any amount online at tuscanyheightspta.org or send cash or check (made out to THE PTA) to the school. We will not be doing any other major fundraisers this fall (like catalog/food sales, Apex Fun Run, etc.) So, let's start our year off by reaching new heights and sending our principals camping! Look for a flyer and payment envelope to be sent home in backpacks on Monday!
