Tom Turkey - TCE Title 1 School-Wide Project

It is time for The Creek to do their Fall Title 1 School-Wide Project. In this project we invite our families to help out Tom Turkey who has lost his feathers. A cardstock feather will be sent home this week with instructions to decorate it however you would like, write your name, & teacher's name on the back and send it in as soon as you can. Every couple of days, Mrs. Bridges will be sending out a picture of how many feathers Tom has received. Last year, TCE families made him 181 feathers! This year, we want to see if we can break the 200 mark and really make Tom plump with feathers!
