Game Changer Grant in Action. In the spring of 2023, the TEE Foundation approved to fully fund the Game Changer Grant received by Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Rush, and Mrs. Bunton from Main Street Elementary for a Sensory Room. The campus was pleased to announce the room is fully set up for the students and staff at MSE and we were lucky enough to receive a tour. Upon entering, the room is immediately calming. From the lighting, to the colors, to the sounds…the intentionality of the space is apparent. There is a variety of “comfortable places to be” in the room, as well as a black out tent that can be seen in the video. There are also calming activities for the students to participate in while in the room. This room is available for use to all students (accompanied by an adult) along with staff members, themselves. Mrs. Pierce, principal of MSE, stated the room’s purpose is for those who are over stimulated, in need of decompressing, those who have sensory issues, along with students who have behavior plans, to have a place to go and sit with those big emotions, feelings. Mrs. Pierce also informed us of the need for some students to be on “Sensory Diets” which was fascinating to learn about! These students can be set up on intervals throughout their day to come visit the Sensory Room. This schedule of visits can be extremely beneficial for helping the students in need, learn to self regulate their own stimulation levels. These pre scheduled visits can help the students to have successful days at school, to learn in the best environment possible. The room itself is amazing but truly to hear the words of the Admin and Staff at MSE in how it is being used for the intentional growth of their students is the real amazement. THANK YOU to our donors and sponsors who enable the TEE Foundation to fund grants like this one, to support the Educators of Taylor ISD!

WELCOME!!! At tonight's school board meeting: The Taylor ISD School Board officially welcomed Dr. Jennifer Garcia-Edwardsen as Taylor ISD’s Superintendent. Welcome, Dr. Garcia! Please see an introductory letter from Dr. Garcia below. Good evening, Taylor ISD Community, I am incredibly grateful to the Taylor ISD School Board for selecting me as your Superintendent, and placing their trust in me to lead in a close-knit community that takes such pride in our students, schools and the rich heritage we have here. Over the next few months, one of my top priorities will be to actively engage with the Taylor community, to listen and learn in order to understand the fabric of Taylor and our strengths and areas of opportunity. Your insight is invaluable to Taylor ISD’s mission of Inspiring, Equipping and Empowering Every Student to Achieve their Unique Potential. Your voice will provide a clear understanding of our progress toward our District Goals, and how we can ensure each student receives the highest quality educational experience. Families are our partners, and I am committed to providing the leadership and support necessary to ensure that together, we are equipped with the tools needed for student success. There’s a gift shop downtown that has a sign on the side of the building, “A little Town, A Lotta Love.” My family and I are truly appreciative of the warm welcome and all the friendly smiles and kindness we have received. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to grow alongside Taylor ISD, and to continue building upon the legacy of this wonderful town. Warm Regards, Jennifer Garcia-Edwardsen, PhD

MSE Music Teacher and TEE Foundation grant recipient, Ms. Elaine, participated with her students at a Bass Pro event with the portable sound system, which she wrote her grant for. We LOVE seeing our grants “in action!” Thank you to our supporters who make this possible!

Temple College is launching a new Adopt-A-School program with five elementary schools in its service area. In Taylor, they are partnering with Pasemann Elementary, and today they began the new adventure with a ribbon cutting at the school. “I am excited about bringing opportunities to these students and creating space for college or whatever choices they want to make for their future,” said Billie Logiudice, External Relations/HSI STEM Advisor, Temple College. “I’m excited about coming in and being a part of what they have going on and showing them that college is an option.” “We are looking forward to the collaboration and promoting higher education,” said Pasemann Principal, Cynthia Proctor.

TEE Foundation was excited to be a part of the Good Life event this morning! As always, it was a wonderful event for Taylor with a great turnout.

TEE Grant recipient, Megan Moss was the speaker at the Lions Club meeting this month. Ms. Moss is a THS alumni, UNT alumni, and now in her 3rd year of teaching with TISD. She applied for, and received, a fully funded grant for her classroom at THJohnson, where she is the campus art teacher. Ms. Moss received funds to cover the cost of 2 iPads and a camera that allows her to record her lesson for the students, for projects. This ability allows the saving of materials with only one display example needing to be created, as well as the ability to have unlimited play back for the students to see the instructions. The iPads are used to take pictures of the students art projects that are then uploaded to an online program that allows parents/guardians, family member, and friends to view their student’s art work. Thank you, Ms. Moss, for your hard work and dedication to the little artists that cross your path and to your interest is seeing this program used at other elementary campuses! You are just one reason why we do what we do for the educators and students of TISD! Today’s presentation was a great example of organizations working together to know how to support their community!
