As the school year has gotten underway, it is becoming evident that our students, parents, and staff are all working together to ensure a successful year of learning for everyone! Teachers are planning learning activities that challenge and excite the students. Parents are volunteering and students are creating projects and using technology to demonstrate their learning. You can almost feel the energy when you walk thru our school doors! Good things are happening inside, however on the outside, there is a safety concern. On September 1 of this year, House Bill 347 took effect in Texas. The bill mandates that any wireless communication device may not be used while operating a motor vehicle within a school crossing zone, or on the property of a public or private elementary or middle school unless the vehicle is stopped or the device is hands-free. This means that if you are not using a hands-free device, you must stop and put your car in park if you are going to text, talk, type, etc...on school grounds and in school zones. Please work with us to keep school a safe place, inside and out. Please stop in and say hello if you are on campus. Our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Acosta and myself would love to meet you if we haven't already had the pleasure! Sincerely, Dr. Sharon Heier Proud Principal of Timber Creek Elementary

Get involved with TCE PTA and

Volunteer!!!

Whether your child is 5 or 18, it is never too late to get involved!

Volunteering at school is a great way to show your kids that their school and their edu-

cation is important!

Volunteering teaches by example that it is important to give back to the community.

Not only will Timber Creek reap the benefits of your involvement — you will, too! By in-

teracting with teachers and other parents, you'll gain a firsthand understanding of your

child's daily life. You will get to know the other children that surround your child every

day. You'll also tap into trends of school life that can help you communicate with your

kids as they grow.

And did you know volunteering with the PTA is FUN!?!! We help with exciting things like

the BOOK FAIR, FALL Festival, PARTIES, and Teacher treat days! We get into school areas

most parents don't get to see.

There are many ways YOU can volunteer! Various committees, Fall Fest, Tiger Shop, Li-

brary assistance, Book Fair, and our PTA bulletin board, just to name a few!

To sign up for our General Volunteer list, please go to our VolunteerSpot located online

at http://vols.pt/n9vzZ6 . Or use your phone and scan the code to sign up.

Thank you in advance for helping Timber Creek, our amazing teachers, and our wonder-

ful children out this 2013-14 school year! ~TCE PTA
