The Wave 
November 10, 2017 
The sounds of EUREKA were heard throughout the 4/5th Grades this afternoon.  They were finishing their term project!  They have seldom had the opportunity to create such amazingly integrated pieces of work.  Ms. T, Ms. Murray and Ms. Olson were instrumental into the poetry, mask, social studies mix!  The 8th grade was finishing its pyramid projects. Can you have a school be better than this happy industrious experience on a "Friday" afternoon?  Happy learners - this is what so many dream of... and happens all the time here at TRCS.  We are lucky!  

Please honor the veterans in your lives tomorrow & always.
