The Wave 
March 2, 2018 
  
Next week is one of the traditions at TRCS that students love the most - 4/5 week and Outdoor School! Our entire staff has spent weeks getting the details finalized so that all students will have a memorable week. We hope you will watch your email for daily updates from both of these events. We will be sharing pictures and stories from each day! I am really looking forward to my week at Camp Westwind. The lead teacher in charge each day I am gone are: Monday & Tuesday - Denise Collins, Wednesday - Barb Murray, Thursday & Friday - Meg Elston. When we return on Friday, March 9th, updates will be posted on our website. Please be watching there and not calling the school office. As soon as we have information to share, it will be posted. You can expect to pick up your 6th, 7th, or 8th grader  around 12:30 pm on Friday. 

In addition, we have a few events announced in this edition of The Wave that use the calendar on the  Sangha app to RSVP, volunteer sign ups, and make payments. You will need to activate your Sangha account, so if you haven't already, please sign up for this convenient service that you can use on your smartphone! Please email Elizabeth if you need any assistance with this! 

We hope everyone enjoys the week ahead - and please send the sunshine to the coast!

March 12th-16th 
We want to stress that the week of March 12-16 is a full, regular week of school. We have curriculum, as well as two PE units, planned. We hope that we can see full attendance all week. Spring Break is the following two weeks and is the ideal time for family vacations. Each year, we are so grateful to our parents for our high school attendance rates. Thank you in advance for helping us keep kids in school, learning and growing! 

We finished up our Oregon Battle of the Books for 2018 this week. We want to extend congratulations to all of the teams for their dedication and positive competitive spirit. It was incredible to see the hard work of months of reading and discussions about the 16 books! Our school champion this year is The Bookworms. We will have a celebration at school on Monday to celebrate all of the teams! We are proud of all of you!
