Fall Break: No School September 29 – October 6 World School Milk Day Transportation Changes: Please always send a note if there are afternoon transportation changes. Students panic if they don’t know what to do! World School Milk Day TCPC will celebrate World School Milk Day on Wednesday. Each class will get to see a cow from the Deener farm. It should be a fun experience as students see the connections between farming and the food we consume.
