Clean Your Streams, September 19, 2015

Partners for Clean Streams website

This is a fun event that we have done the past few years.
The name is somewhat deceiving: we will be cleaning up the stream bank-not the stream itself.

Parade Route

(blue line)

Wear your TEC gear!

I will have some TEC shirts  at sale prices ($5) for paraders.

(Note: I don't have many small sizes)

Next year's freshmen and their families are 

encouraged to attend!

Students, friends, graduates, parents, 

siblings, pets, all are WELCOME.

The parade will be over around noon;

after that you can leave or enjoy the 

Old West End Festival.

The festival is great fun - food, music, other entertainment, garage sales.

Parade Sign-up Here

You can also just show up but I'd like an idea of how many are attending.

(Make arrangements with your parents for after the parade because you will no longer be under our supervision.)

Jeans for Teens

From Raven Neal-Jackson (C/O 2015):

Hey everyone! It's that time again for TEENS FOR JEANS! As most of you know, I ran this drive last year and our school donated a total of about 200 pairs of jeans! This year I'm hoping to double that number! The drive will run until February 13, 2015. So please go and raid your old closets! I know all of you have jeans that you can no longer fit or just don't want. Make sure they're in good condition and do not have rips in them! All jeans will be donated to homeless shelters throughout the United States. Why not help a teen in need? I will put some boxes or bins by the big board in the hallway. Feel free to drop your donations there! Thanks guys!!
