At TES we are very excited for everyone to see the new areas of our elementary school. Please see the opportunities for parents and grandparents to visit:
TES FEBRUARY STUDENT LEADERS
Jocelyn Abshire and Lyla Barns - 3rd Grade
Jocelyn Abshire is a wonderful role model who truly ROARS like a Tiger. She shows respect not only to adults but to her peers on a daily basis. She treats all students with fairness and compassion. Jocelyn has a great work ethic and always tries her best. Not only does she come to school ready to learn, but is one of the first to encourage and motivate others. Jocelyn holds high expectations for herself, and is someone I can always depend on. I am so glad that Jocelyn is part of our team, and am honored to be her teacher.
If you need someone who is your biggest cheerleader and supporter, Lyla Barnes is the one to find. Not only is Lyla always ready to motive and encourage others, she is an extremely hard worker who holds high standards for herself. I love Lyla's commitment to learning and growing. Lyla takes great pride in everything she does, and has a "never quit" mindset. Her positive energy radiates in everything she does. Not only is Lyla ready to be the best she can be, she is ready to help others find success. I am so glad Lyla is part of our team, and am honored to be her teacher. (Jennifer Nager - 3rd Grade ELAR Teacher)
Lisa Kellner, Jennifer Nager and Lilly Huckestein - Third Grade Teaching Team
The third grade team is always seeking meaningful and engaging ways to help their students learn and grow. They work diligently to create a classroom environment that balences high expectations with joy, building not only academic skills, but also strong character, positive behaviors, and a solid work ethic. Above all, they care deeply about every student and are committed to helping each other reach their full potential. As a team they collaborate well, support each other, and step in whenever needed. - Kelly Dudley - TES Couselor
Shout out to Mrs. Nager and Mrs. Huckestein. They offered bonus assignments and incentives when we missed school during the snow days. This kept the students engaged and involved, and we had many of our kids working while they were at home and out of school. I love how they're always working towards student growth and keeping parents involved. #3rdGradeRocks (Lisa Kellner - 3rd Grade Science/Social Studies Teacher)
I believe Mrs. Kellner is a great teacher. She is nice, smart, funny, and let's me sit by my friends. She always helps me when I'm stuck. Mrs. Kellner is nice to everyone. - Austin Zimmer 3rd Grade Student
I believe Mrs. Nager is a very helpful teacher. I like her because she is a funny and supportive teacher. I also like that she is sometimes crazy about "6-7." Mrs. Nager is our shortest and last rotatation, but she is worth the wait. - Kimber Wolfe - 3rd Grade Student
I believe Mrs. Huckestein is a great teacher because she helps us find ways to figure out our math problems. She is also very sweet. - Lyla Barnes - 3rd Grade Student
One hundred days of learning and fun at TES and still going strong!
Norma Moore - TES School Secretary
I would like to Shout Out Norma Moore.
We moved our kids to Trenton ISD last minute (a few days before school started). Our heads were spinning with all the tasks needing to transfer the kids to a new school while purchasing a home. Lots of exciting things but also very stressful.
Mrs. Moore explained each step in detail to me which took the guess work out of it all. She took an overwhelming task and really made it easy and was incredibly supportive. I appreciated all her efforts in helping us out.
Thank you,
Elyse Goode
Students: Dylan Goode (3rd Grade) & Autumn Goode (6th Grade)
Mrs. Moore is an awesome person to me. I love how she is always in a good mood! - Georgia Bryning 2nd Grade
Mrs. Moore, I hope you love your job because I love you. You are the best. - Haynzli Kueckelhan 2nd Grade
Chase Pritchard and Yari Garcia
Chase Pritchard is a very happy and hard working Trenton Tigert! He is always smiling when he comes to class which lifts his classmates up. He helps his friends and stands up for others when they can't do it themselves. He checks all of his work and makes sure he has done his best everytime. He uses his strategies he has been taught and has imporved so much this year. I am so proud of Chase and all of his acoomplishments. (Samantha Listello - 4th Grade Teacher)
Yari Garcia is a very smart and sweet fourth grade student. She comes to school everyday with a smile and great work ethic. Yari is a model student and is always following our ROAR behaviors. She is always willing to help her classmates in class and outside of the classroom. I am so proud to be Yari's teacher. (Tabitha Spindle - 4th Grade Teacher)

TES AND PRODIGY
Trenton Elementary 3rd and 4th grade students worked hard on Prodigy to become the State Champions for November. This also qualifies them to compete in the National Championship in May. For the month of November these students answered 29,586 correct math questions. Prodigy is a game that requires the students to answer math questions in order to move forward in the game. Prodigy Math is played by millions of K-8 students globally. The engaging game adjusts the difficulty to each student's level, and aligns with educational standards, making learning fun and effective. TigersROAR!

Annie Brown and Paisley Kollatschny - 2nd Grade
Anni Brown approaches every task with a strong work ethic and a positive attitude! Anni deeply cares for her peers - whether she’s offering encouragement, lending a helping hand, or stepping up to lead by example. Her kindness, reliability, and commitment to excellence make her an outstanding Tiger role model. (Hallie Richardson - 2nd Grade Teacher)
Paisley Kollatschny is full of energy and personality, and she definitely keeps me on my toes! But what stands out most is her hard work and determination. She comes to school eager to learn, takes initiative to practice at home, and never hesitates to dive in and try her best. She’s growing tremendously as a reader and writer, and her effort and enthusiasm are truly inspiring. I’m so proud of her hard work! (Reghan Beezley - 2nd Grade Teacher)
Michele Powell - 2nd Grade Teacher
I want to send a shout out to Mrs. Powell. Since the first day of school, she has been an amazing teacher. Her outgoing personality, passion for teaching, and patience with each of her students give them the best opportunity to learn, and she also makes learning fun. Every day, my son comes home excited, telling us what he has learned that day in her class. The friendly notes she sends home from time to time let us know how well our son is doing in her class, and she also has something positive to say, along with something our son has said or done that was funny or made her day. The little things she does for her students are what make her stand out. I feel she deserves to be recognized as an amazing teacher and deserves the TES spotlight. (Candice Baca - Parent of Alex Spears)
I love Mrs. Powell. She is so sweet, and the best teacher in the world. (Tinley Phifer - 2nd Grade)
Mrs. Powell is cool and I like her. (Alex Spears - 2nd Grade)
I love all of my classmates because all of them are really nice. I love my teacher Mrs. Powell too because she helps me learn. (Nita Axworth - 2nd Grade)
Each nine week period TES celebrates our ROARing Tigers. For the first nine weeks our Tigers were treated to a movie at the Odeum Theatre in Whitewright.
Charlie Johnson and Daniel Axworth - 4th Grade Leaders
Charlie Johnson has been a model 4th Grade Trenton Tiger. She comes to school with a smile on her face and tries her best each day. She offers to help her classmates when she can. Charlie has a positive outlook that helps her peers stay positive too. (Samantha Listello - 4th Grade ELAR Teacher)
Daniel Axworth has been an amazing addition to our fourth grade group. He has learned our ROAR expectations and uses them everyday! He comes to school with a positive attitude that shows in his participation and classwork. Not only is he great in the classroom but is always offering to help his classmates or teachers outside of the classroom. I am so glad Daniel has joined us and cannot wait to see how far he goes this year. (Tabitha Spindle - 4th Grade Math Teacher)
Brionne Mitchell - Elementary Music and Art
Shout out to Brionne Mitchell. The students have loved her engaging art and music lessons. Her room is inviting and full of amazing learning opportunities.
I also love the colored cones that made it out to the car line! It really helps the students find their spot, and definitely adds to afternoon dismissal running more efficiently.
I am so glad she is part of our school. (Jennifer Nager - 3rd Grade ELAR Teacher)
Mrs.Mitchell has brought wonderful ideas and many smiles to our campus. TES students adore her and love spending time in Art/Music learning from her. She is always willing to help with any task, approaching everything with positivity and enthusiasm. She is a great addition to TES.(Kelly Dudley - TES Counselor)
You know I’m lovin’ this!! (Announcement of multiple performances at TES) My girls are loving Mrs. Mitchell! (Mallory Barnes - Kinder and 4th Grade Parent)
TES saw a lot of spirit on Twin Day. Tomorrow we hope to see many of our Little Tigers in Trenton colors, and some Homecoming mums and garters. Mrs. Mitchell will be selling and painting "Spirit Dots" for $1 tomorrow in the cafeteria starting at 7:20. Go Tigers!
