Woman’s Empowerment Group
Last year we began a woman’s
support group at TBCC. I have
had several parents ask for
Woman’s Empowerment Group
to begin again. I would like to
have this support group meet on
the fourth Wednesday of each
School Happenings
month beginning in Febru-
ary. If you are interested in
being a part of this support
group please contact me via
email or telephone. I may
be able to provide free
childcare if I have enough
interest. I would like to
start in February so if you
are interested contact me
ASAP.

Annual Giving Fund
TBCC would like to thank
every teacher and family
for all of the monetary
support from the generous
donations for our Annual Giv-
ing Fund (AGF). This year we
were able to raise funds to
remodel our kitchen in order to
provide a sanitized area to
prepare snacks and hot lunches
for children in our care.
Master Calendar
We have a Master Calendar
that outlines the school year
beginning in September
2010 to June 2011. All
families have access to the
master calendar on our
w e b s i t e a t
www.tbcc4me.org. Please
refer to this calendar to
help plan for alternate
childcare during school
closure days. We invite
you to be a part of the pro-
grams and volunteering
your time at TBCC.
Inclusion at TBCC
We are a school that pro-
motes and welcomes chil-
dren at all levels of devel-
opment. We ask that fami-
lies will help to educate
themselves as well as their
children that all children
are at different levels but
we can help one another by
practicing acceptance and
patience. If you have any
questions or concerns
about your child or chil-
dren in your child’s class-
room, please see Lisa.
