Please help your child fill the bag with 100 objects (ex: 100 pennies, 100 marshmallows, 100 toothpicks, etc.) Your child can bring their bag any time before February 1st. We will share our collections on the 100th Day and hang them in the hallway to show! We will send them back home after our celebration.

A Note from our Counselor: Play It Safe
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In February your child’s Professional School Counselor will meet with all students about the topic of personal safety. Coppell ISD uses Play It Safe. Play It Safe is a research-based, age-appropriate abuse prevention program.
The purpose of this personal safety presentation is to provide all children with information and practical skills to protect themselves by recognizing, reacting to, and reporting potentially dangerous situations. Topics that will be addressed vary at each grade level as they consider the child’s age and maturity level.
Our Professional School Counselors are the presenters and will visit with each classroom, K-5, for approximately 30-45 minutes. Stories, puppets, group discussions, and videos are used in the low-key, age-appropriate presentation.
You can obtain more information about the Play it Safe program at the following link: https://playitsafe.org/index.php. Also, feel free to contact your child’s Professional School Counselor if you have any questions.
If you DO NOT want your child to view the Play It Safe Program, please email your campus' Professional School Counselor by Friday, February 4th. Your child’s teacher will make sure that your child goes to an alternate learning environment during the Play It Safe presentation.
If you would like your child to participate in this valuable learning opportunity no further action is needed.
Sincerely,
Anne Lehew, M.Ed., PSC
Coordinator of Counseling and Social Emotional Learning
TCE's counselor is Kelly Matlock. She can be reached at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.
