TEF is celebrating their 6th Birthday in the month of April–HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEF! For 6 years TEF has raised funds for TCSD students and teachers, creating scholarships, programs, and innovative education grants for teachers. We have planted trees, displayed art, and sent 4th graders to the museum. We have worked with many amazing partners, like Cargill, and amazing students in Tooele Transition, FFA, and NHS. We have also worked with many great volunteers who love education and do all they can to enrich and enhance education in TCSD!

On April 12, 2016, TEF hosted a birthday party at the TCSD School Board meeting on April 12, complete with balloons, cake, and birthday gifts for all who attended the meeting. Throughout this month, we are also delivering celebrate kits to District Office employees and each of the 25 schools in our district.

You can celebrate with us by showing your love for education in TCSD! Here are a few things you can do:
