In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share an excerpt from an article on thankfulness with all of you. Jon Gordon is speaking about the power of thank you! He states, “There are two words that have the power to transform our health, happiness, and success. Research shows that grateful people are happier and more likely to maintain good friendships. A state of gratitude, according to research by the Institute of HeartMath, also improves the heart's rhythmic functioning, which helps us to reduce stress, think more clearly under pressure and heal physically. It's actually physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. When you are grateful you flood your body and brain with emotions and endorphins that uplift and energize you rather than the stress hormones that drain you. Gratitude is like muscle. The more we do with it the stronger it gets.”

We are thankful we get to partner with the entire TRCS community. Our staff wishes the entire TRCS community an amazing Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time off from school and the time we get to spend with friends and family! See you on the 26th of November!

The Rose Haven Holiday Drive has come to TRCS! Yes, it’s time for us to think about how our school can reach out and help others. Our leadership team has decided this year to help support the Rose Haven Center for Women and Children. This center serves 3500 local women and their children each year as they find protection during the daytime from violent situations and homelessness. We are asking that you help us help them by donating toys and other needed goods, such as blankets, diapers, soap, school supplies, and more. You can turn in your items as early as the 26th of November! There is a turn-in box by the front door. Please keep your items in a bag with your name and grade on the bag. Your grade may earn a prize of donuts for lunch or a PJ day. If your grade gets last place, you will have to do a deed for the staff! Here is a list of requested items. Thank you in advance for showing our TRCS spirit and support in action. We cannot wait to see what we can give to Rose Haven for their holiday season!

 

Sincerely,

Lia Workman, Jeffrey Russell, and Tim Wieland
