Kathy Welch posted on TES PTO: Hoping to just get some info out there: Music & Arts will be in the elementary cafeteria today (Aug. 31) from 3-6pm to rent instruments for band students. This is only one option, but this is the company that comes to us every two weeks. It's not a 3 hour meeting - you can come any time during that time and someone from the store will explain their rental plan. Thanks!

TES Principal Angela Norberg Bacon posted on TES PTO: I have a family in need of housing - they have Emergency HUD and can afford $450 a month for rent. They need a two bedroom. They would really like to remain in the Toledo School District. Please let me know if you have something available.
Contact her on Facebook.

Health Corner: How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across A Lifetime
TSD Supt. Chris Rust posted this link last week to a TED Talk on A.C.E. and how childhood trauma correlates to specific health issues over a lifetime. Very revealing.
Supt. Rust also recommended to me this book on the answer to childhood trauma. Stay tuned.
*Thanks to Superintendent Rust for the link.

Newly released study: Drinking four cups of coffee daily lowers risk of death. By 64%, I might add.
This expands on a much larger long-term study from 5 years ago that reported significant if lower percentages involving 400,000 AARP members over more than 10 years.
Quick, pour!
