The Sensory and Exploration Garden project at South Early Learning Center is coming along nicely. The Tecumseh South PTO has received a ton of donations, including tires, pallets, mulch and more to help put this project together. On Monday (5/10), Tecumseh Arbor #760 - Gleaner Life Insurance Society donated $500 to go towards the sensory garden project. The group is also donating a Red Twig Dogwood tree and a butterfly bush in honor of Darlene Penterics. Darlene passed away in April at the age of 61. She was a kindergarten teacher here at TPS before retiring.

March was National Reading Month and students at South Early Learning Center had some special guest readers over the month.
A Sensory and Exploration Garden project is underway over at South Early Learning Center.
A sensory garden is a garden that has a collection of plants that are appealing to one or more of the five senses; sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch. Sensory gardens should be accessible for all people to enjoy - disabled and non-disabled.
So far, we've received several donations, including a $500 donation from the Tecumseh Arbor Cleaners Group.
Over the weekend, the Tecumseh South PTO raised $258 for the sensory garden. The Easter Bunny showed up for some pictures during bowling, and made an appearance over at South ELC.
On Tuesday, May 4, we're asking for your support.
Voters will have the opportunity to renew the Recreational Millage. The .2488 millage provides funding for Tecumseh Community Pool.

Preschool students at South ELC are celebrating National Reading Month. The main theme was pizza!
Students were read 'Crazy Pizza Day,' ate mini pizzas and took part in pizza related crafts.
