The Wave 
November 3, 2017 

Our recent fun run has already made the patio in the back occur! We are installing pavers for the back area, in advance of the rain! We are working to combat the run off from the hillside, which runs right into the back of our building.  By using pavers, sand and gravel, we have created a better drainage system and a picnic area for the spring!  Thank you to everyone for the amazing fun run support. We were able to cover an outing to Sherwood Ice Arena for ice skating on November 17th, as well as the pavers for the back.

It's easy, convenient and we hope you will use this great new program!

Poetry Contest 
We are participating in the Scholastic Student Poetry Contest this year! Students must submit their poetry by November 6th in order to meet the mailing deadline. Each student may submit only  one original poem on any subject, no less than 2 lines and no more than 20 lines. Winners can earn $25-100 for entering, with a grand prize of $500.  
Too Sick for School? 
We are now well into the school year and with the seasons changing, colds and flus have found their way to our students and staff! The health of everyone is very important to us, so we appreciate it when parents keep sick kids at home. Click here to read the "Too Sick for School?" flyer we distributed earlier this year. We encourage parents to talk to their student(s) about washing their hands regularly, and consider talking to the doctor about a flu shot. Stay healthy everyone! 
NEW WEBSITE! 
We are live!  This has taken us over 4 months to navigate, but we felt that we truly needed a more user friendly and updated website.  You will see many things that will be worked on, as we get to know the capabilities of our new site.  We hope you enjoy the pictures that we will be freshening up weekly. We are looking forward to showing off TRCS in its very best light to the public.
