This will be the staple event for the upcoming school year. Check back next school year to see what we've got in store. 

Read-a-Thon:

This is an annual event held in February that encourages our students to track their reading times.  There are 2 levels of participation. The first is to seek out sponsorships for the number of hours that are read during the month. The second is just a participation level with no sponsorships.  Awards are given for the highest fundraisers and most-read per class.

Volunteers needed: To put read-a-thon packets together, collect read-a-thon trackers and confirm hours, collect/count funds brought in, and assist with getting donations for prizes.

Throughout the year the PTG books venues that will donate a certain amount if our students and families eat at their establishments.  The PTG tries to focus on locally owned venues or venues that offer the best donation.

School Spirit

Spirit Sticks

The TVES sells spirit sticks that can be purchased by an adult for one of our students. Then each month the PTG distributes the spirit sticks to each kid.  We also do special spirit sticks for teachers to give to outstanding students each month as well as sell spirit sticks for special occasions (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day).

Volunteers needed: Assist with putting spirit stick packages together each month, assist during special sell days before and after school.

Tanque Verde Tuesdays

Each Tuesday we encourage our students to wear their spirit wear (anything with TVES on it). They will come to one of the tables outside the MPR before school to show us their spirit wear. Each kid’s name is then put in a raffle drawing for a prize. 1-2 winners each week.

Volunteers needed: to man table each Tuesday before school, take name and put in for drawing.
