PTC Club and Event Happenings:
A special thanks to:
- Kristine Baker for serving as the PTC Secretary for the past 6 months. She has volunteered in many different roles at Terra Linda and we are grateful for her time. She is passing the baton on to Emily Struthers who is our new PTC Secretary.
- Mrs. Piper for sharing her love and understanding of Common Core with Terra Linda Parents at last night’s PTC meeting. She is full of ideas on how to support your child from home! We will be posting some of these ideas on social media in the days to come. Stay tuned!
