We are excited to have In-N-Out Food Truck join us at our TCE Spring Picnic Thursday, May 2nd from 6:00-7:30 PM. Pre-order is required. They have several options to choose from, including a vegetarian option. Below is the link to pre-order by Saturday, April 27th. The meals are $5 each and include a grilled cheese, hamburger, or cheeseburger; chips; and a soft drink. Our Town Center PTO receives 75% of the sale proceeds , and the remaining 25% goes to In-N-Out's Slave2Nothing Foundation (In-N-Out Burger created the Slave 2 Nothing® Foundation to open paths to freedom for those who are enslaved by any person or substance).

We invite all Town Center Families to join us Tuesday, May 7th at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom to hear from our CISD Superintendent Dr. Hunt, Chief Financial Officer Diana Sircar, and Chief Communications Officer Angela Brown. They will share more about our district budget and answer any questions you may have. We'd love for you all to join us!

CEF will also give $2 from every Run to Fund race entry to the Physical Education Department at the CISD school of your choice.

CISD would like to hear from our students, families, employees and community about why "My Home is CISD." Submit a testimonial at go.coppellisd.com/myhomeCISD.

The Coppell ISD Education Foundation would like to recognize CISD educators and staff for doing great things! CISD is full of dedicated and hardworking teachers, administrators, and support staff who often go above and beyond. CEF would like to give you the chance to shine a spotlight on these CISD employees by nominating them to be a Super Star. Any CISD staff member can nominate a fellow employee. To nominate a CISD employee, visit www.coppellisdef.org/superstar/.

Thank you to the dads that have taken time at TCE on Fridays to volunteer. For clarification, any amount of time you can give would be great. If you only have time to be there at drop-off or for a specific time frame, we would still love for you to sign-up.

As a reminder, we are having "Dads Club on Campus Day" at TCE. This is currently scheduled for Fridays, and they are able to sign-up to spend time at TCE supporting the campus and classrooms in different ways. This may include:

• Welcoming students to school during morning arrival
• Helping in classrooms, the office, or PE as requested by teachers
• Joining staff for lunchroom duty
• Re-shelving books in the library
• Car line dismissal and high fives to end the day

**In order for the campus to coordinate scheduling, please sign-up at least a week in advance.

If you would like to sign up to receive Dads Club Communications, you can email your contact information to Nick Walther at tceptodadsclub@gmail.com.

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dads Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete.
