As Teller and the PTA continue to collaborate on ways to make Teller Elementary School the best school in Denver, we have made the decision to combine the PRIDE Post and PTA Roar Report.

Farmers' Market Success

Ms. Schwarz's 5th grade class did a fantastic job organizing, advertising, and selling fresh produce at our Farmers' Market yesterday. Ms. Schwartz's class decided to donate dll proceeds earned yesterday's Farmers' Market to #TeamSeas, a nonprofit ocean cleanup project.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has donated to our Farmers' Market. Your ongoing support means the world to our students!

Next up, Mr. Gray's 5th grade class on Friday, September 16th.

You will be connected to your instructor at the beginning of the week that you signed up for so you are aware of where to go once you arrive at school. These opportunities are extremely fun and rewarding! Please use the link provided here to sign up for a day/ time/ location that works for you.
