Lunch

• Learn More About the Lunch Program
  
  Kids love it when they see a parent or loved one helping during lunchtime!

  Whether your child eats school lunch or brings lunch from home, we need your help. Lunch volunteers not only serve lunch, but assist and help clean up after all the children. This assistance allows the children to have adequate time to eat and enjoy recess.

  We require two volunteers daily from 11:45 a.m. - 1:45 p.m. and there is no experience needed! If you can only do half the shift on your lunch hour that’s fine too. Just let us know.

  Whether you are available occasionally, or can come in on a regular basis, please contact Yssa Bobrow, our Lunch Volunteer Coordinator at yssa.bobrow@teccsjc.org or 646-714-3413 and sign up today!

  The Familiy School Association (FSA) meets regularly to discuss ways of improving and enhancing the School. The FSA also sponsors several events during the course of the school year that rely on volunteers. For example, Kids' Night Out, the Fall and Winter Festivals and the Scholastic Book Fairs are all events that provide students with a sense of the community in which they and the school belong and promote the School's values through emphasis on skills such as reading and positive peer relationships.

  TECCS is located at 95 Broadway Jersey City, in the former home of Mt. Carmel School in the Marion section of JC. The building, constructed in 1954, boasts a full size gymnasium, with a proscenium stage at one end and a recently installed projection system. The building has twelve large, sunny classrooms, as well as ample office space. The basement level has a sizable cafeteria and a full kitchen. In short, it is a wonderful facility with many desirable amenities. Nonetheless, as TECCS expands to 2nd - 4th grades in the coming years, additional preparation of the facilities will be required. Parents and families can help by volunteering time and materials in the service of creating colorful, bright and clean classrooms.

  Families are always welcome participants in the learning environment at TECCS. Each classroom chooses one or more "class mothers" each year to facilitate volunteering opportunities in the classroom. In addition, teachers encourage families to participate in reading to students during the school day, educating students about community and service-oriented careers, and assisting with classroom parties and events.
