Welcome to the Friends of Thurgood Marshall Elementary (FTME) website. We are a non-profit organization of parents, teachers and staff members who strive to support the intellectual, social and emotional needs of all our students and families. We support our students, staff and families through community building events and fundraising efforts needed to support our many programs.
Please join us at 8am on Wednesday, Feb. 11th in the Cafeteria. Principal Julie and FTME board members will be there to answer any questions about Thurgood Marshall and FTME.
Our monthly FTME membership meeting is Monday 2/9, 6:30-7:30pm on Zoom. Please email fundraising@tmlink.org if you would like to join! Membership is free and we always welcome more members. We are also looking for board members for next year.
This week, we celebrate and thank our incredible school counselor, Ms. Matsui, for the care, guidance, and steady support she provides to students every day. School counselors help students navigate challenges, build confidence, plan for the future, and feel seen and supported academically, socially, and emotionally.
February is Black History month, a time to honor the rich history, resilience, creativity, and leadership of Black leaders and communities past and present, including Justice Thurgood Marshall, our school’s namesake. We are also observing Black Lives Matter this week at TME. Each grade level has a learning activity for each day of the week and teachers typically include their grade level lessons for the week in their monthly newsletters.
