“Where in the World are TCAPS’ Elementary Alumni?” Photographs Wanted
We #160;want to hear from #160;our elementary school alumni about #160;your life journey – from “growing up” years as an elementary student to what #160;you are doing “now.”
#160;
TCAPS’ elementary school alumni are invited to submit a pair of “then” and “now” photos that will be used to create a teacher video-scrapbook to inspire TCAPS’ teachers who are committed to growing learners and continued professional development. Photos should capture a school moment while an elementary student at TCAPS and a more recent photo that captures what #160;you are #160;doing now.
#160;
Please email digital photos to Biz Ruskowski at ruskowskbi@tcaps.net #160;by October 27th and include a brief description of the photo, the year the picture was taken, and the elementary school attended at the time of the photo.
