The PTSA is looking to restart the Parents At Lunch (PAL) program. PALs are a group of volunteers that support a healthy, safe and vibrant lunchtime experience at TPMS. We need a volunteer coordinator to help schedule other parent volunteers to be onsite for lunch so the kids can have outside recess time during lunch. PAL volunteers get to know staff and students, support healthy interactions, ensure the cafeteria and outdoor areas are cleaned up, and help make lunchtime fun! The biggest need is for volunteers during 6th grade lunch. If you are interested, please email Emily Pickren at epickren@gmail.com or TPMS.pta.president@gmail.com.
Virtual Workshop for Parents , Nov. 14
Tuesday, November 14 from 6-7 pm.
MCPS’ Parent Academy TO GO is hosting a free workshop for parents to learn strategies to help their children improve their reading. MCPS has partnered with Open Source Phonics, a website that provides tutoring materials that are free and aligned with MCPS curriculum. Instructors will demonstrate how practicing phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, and reading aloud can be done in a fun, stress-free way. Learn tips and techniques with other parents so that you can make better of use of this resource with your children.
Register for the November 14 workshop.
