SCHOOL NEWS: 

 

Are you planning on submitting your writing to contests this year? Were you a part of the UConn Writing Project group at TE? Do you love to write? The UConn Writing Project and Scholastic Writing Awards are great opportunities for your writing to be recognized! Join the Writing Center's Contest Crew this year and you will have a chance to work on your submissions with like-minded writers and tutors. Our first meeting is Monday 11/17 at 2:05 in Room 122B.

Help Chef Fill the Box! Chef Sullivan, FCCLA and the culinary students challenge YOU to help fill the two GIANT boxes located outside of Annex Room 11 and in the Main Lobby. Please help by bringing non-perishable items to one of the boxes by Monday, November 17th. Take a selfie of yourself donating to the box and email it to Chef Sullivan and you will get a raffle ticket entry. One winner will be chosen for a Crumbl Cookie Gift Certificate! If we complete the challenge of filling BOTH boxes by Monday the 17th, we will pull 3 additional winners for local business gift cards!

This is a great opportunity to help out our neighbors and feed hungry mouths in our community! Say it with me- “FILL THAT BOX! FILL THAT BOX! FILL THAT BOX!”
