| Dear Friend of Terraset,
The best laid plans of mice and
men... we had planned to get these announcements out before the end of
school, but life (and spring colds) got in the way! Not to worry, there
is still time to think about the things going on at school after spring
vacation!
The biggest thing to think about is
what you can do to help with the Carnival on April 25th. You
should have received the carnival booklet last Tuesday. If you have not
completed the volunteer form please do so now and send it into school. This form also includes pre-paid tickets request! |

Terraset's Sure Got Talent
From the Archives: Terraset Tigers in the FIRST Talent Show in 2007
 |
About 65 Terraset kids performed in Terraset's Got Talent
last Thursday and demonstrated just how well the show is
named! Performances ranged from singing to skits, included
soloists and groups, and demonstrated what a supportive and caring
community of parents and teachers can do to help kids pursue their
dreams.
The show, sponsored by Terraset Elementary SCA, required participants
to audition and then attend many early morning rehearsals. It all
came together under the guiding hand of Mrs Golden with the assistance
of a number of teachers and parents.
Congratulations to everyone! It was a great night of entertainment. If
anyone has any photos from this year's events, could you send them in? |
