• In memory of former TEMS student Naomi Chung, 7th grade students are partnering with Ms. Bynoe's Animal Club matinee to run a supply drive in support of a local animal shelter. Naomi loved animals almost as much as she loved candy, and we would like to honor her memory by supporting animals in need. You can scan the QR code with the list of supplies needed by Protectors of Animals, a shelter in East Hartford. Please bring any items for donation to Ms. Bynoe, Mrs. Rich OR place them in the donation bin in the TEMS lobby.
