TCS S3 food truck
S3 stands for Starvation Salvation Station, TCS’s food truck. This name was born from community outreach and partnership with the Salvation Army last summer. This past spring TCS bought our own food truck. We began serving meals this summer on May 29th and have averaged over 600 meals per day!
Teachers Teaching Teachers!
Teachers learn best from teachers! Over 60 individualized, personalized professional development opportunities have been offered to TCS staff by TCS staff. With topics ranging from instruction strategies to connecting the District vision to the classroom to building grit and social-emotional capital, TCS teacher and EAs have been learning and growing! Their dedication to growth is inspiring. TCS also had TEAMS attended the Model School Conference in Washington D.C. and ISTE 2019 in Philadelphia! Seeking, bringing back and sharing will make us stronger!
Enjoy the rest of July and we will see you all in a couple of weeks!
