Dear TCES Family,

I just want to take a moment to say something that truly comes from the heart… Thank you.

The Dash and Bash is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a reflection of who we are as a school community. It’s parents showing up, teachers going above and beyond, kids running their hearts out, and volunteers giving their time, energy, and creativity to make something really special happen.

Because of all of you—every donation, every shared email/link, every hour volunteered—we didn’t just meet our goal… we absolutely blew it away. This year, we grossed well over $127,000, making this our most successful fundraiser to date. That is incredible!!

But what makes it even more meaningful isn’t just the number—it’s what it represents. It represents belief in our school, investment in our kids, and a community that shows up for each other in big ways.

To our families, thank you for your generosity. To our teachers and staff, thank you for your constant support and encouragement. To our volunteers and sponsors, thank you for making the magic happen behind the scenes. And to our students—our why—thank you for your energy, your excitement, and your joy.

Because of you ALL, we’re able to do more, give more, and create even better experiences for our kids.

This wasn’t just a success… it was a team effort in every sense of the word. And I feel so lucky to be part of a community that shows up like this.

Thank you all so much.

With sincere gratitude,

Samantha Herington
