Mrs. Stephan
Principal
The Night of the Arts is

from 6:00-8:00 p.m. to
enjoy visual and per-
forming arts. Every stu-

the Arts and look for-

We had a great turnout
for our Volunteer Brunch
last week. It was great to
be able to thank all of our
volunteers for the support
given to our students and
school on a daily basis. We
could not do everything
we do without the help of
our volunteers!
As we enter the last few
weeks of school, we will

mission. We still have a lot
of curriculum to cover, so
it is important that every

School Board member Bev Slough will hold a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, May 7, 6:30 PM ( t onight!) at Creekside High School. She will share information on changes to our schools next year, zoning process for the two new K-8 schools, and other items pertaining to St. Johns County Schools. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.
During May, TCE students will be participating in our Community Partnership Level Logo con-test.
In 2010, our three levels of Community Busi-ness Partners (Bald Eagles, Eagles, and Chicks) were first designed and now need to be updat-ed.
Through your student's regular Art resource time, Mrs. Witkowski will give all students a chance to create a new Community Partner logo. Kindergarten and 1st grade will draw a Chick logo, 2nd and 3rd grade students will draw an Eagle, and 4th and 5th grade students will create the new Bald Eagle logo. The new level logos will appear throughout
the year on Community Partner materials.
The contest winners will be selected by a panel of teachers and staff and will be announced on the Morning News. Chick and Eagle logo win-ners will each receive a $75 gift certificate from Young Rembrandts. Our Bald Eagle logo win-ner will receive a gift certificate for half-off a week of summer camp provided by KidzArt. Many thanks to KidzArt, Young Rembrandts, and Mrs. Witkowski for helping to make this possi-ble.

Parent Resource for Bullying
P A G E 3 T I M B E R L I N C R E E K
Here is a great website to help parents and students with issues related to bullying: http://www.education.com/reference/article/ten-actions-to-eliminate-bullying/
Parents and students are encouraged to report incidents of bullying to school staff so
concerns may be addressed in a timely manner. All students must feel safe at school!
Word of the Week
Decline
verb To slope downward. The walking path will decline around the next bend.
verb To become less in amount. I saw the price for video games decline after the holidays.
verb To refuse or say no. Rita would never decline an invitation to Jason’s birthday party.
verb To go to a lower level. Grandma’s health declined after leaving the hospital.
noun The period when something is coming to an end. The Roman Empire became a civilization in decline.
Lunch Account Balances
Students with a negative balance on their lunch account will be bringing home a reminder over the
next few weeks. All negative balances must be paid by May 15. For your convenience, you may visit
paypams.com to register and manage your child’s lunch account. This is a free tool that will let you
know your child’s outstanding balance.
Please help Mr. Mike balance his books by bringing your child’s account up to date as soon as possi-
ble!
SPMS BASKETBALL CAMP Switzerland Point Middle School will be hosting its Annual Summer Basketball Camp for boys & girls ages 6 – 14. The camp will have three one – week sessions June 10-13, July 29-August 1, and August 5-8. This is a fun filled camp where “Teaching Never Stops”. Don’t be left out of this year’s camp because the camp fills up fast. Please check your child’s school for a brochure or Ter-rance Singleton’s website at Switzerland Point Middle School. Questions/concerns, please call Coach Singleton ([email protected]) at 287-2626 or 547-8650.

Information
Timberlin Creek Elementary thanks our Community Partners and ask that you help support them as they continue to support our children and their education.
A healthy bite and beau ful smile are achieved for
every pa ent of Dr. Perce, an accomplished, board‐
cer fied orthodon st. Dr. Perce has been serving
our community for 8 years. One does not have to
look far to find a child at TCE who has not directly
benefited from his skill and professionalism. While
most pa ents start orthodon c treatment around age
11 or 12, it might be surprising to learn that 7 is the
op mal age for a screening. Dr. Perce explains this is
when the first adult molars erupt, establishing the
back bite. During this me, an orthodon st can eval‐
uate front‐to‐back and side‐to‐side tooth rela on‐
ships. Benefits to intercep ve treatment include:
crea ng room for crowded, erup ng teeth; crea ng
facial symmetry through influencing jaw growth; re‐
ducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth;
preserving space for unerupted teeth; reducing the
need for tooth removal; and reducing treatment me
with braces. Dr. Perce has three offices in the metro
area. The Fruit Cove office is located at 605 SR 13,
North, Suite 104. Call 904‐287‐5557.
