The Wave
June 7, 2019
Congratulations 8th Grade!
Class of 2019
Happy Friday to you! We hope you had a great week! We were busy finishing up all of our Independent Project pieces. It was also our last week of morning academics classes. As we were packing up the math books for the summer we could see a few smiles. We would have been the same way at that age!

We are looking forward to a fun week of activities to conclude the 2018-19 school year. Please check the day by day activities below. We will be outside more than normal next week and they are calling for a couple of very hot days. Please check the weather and be prepared for some really sunny days! Also, if your student has been experiencing trouble with allergies, please consider the extra time we will be spending outside and plan accordingly. Let the office know if your student needs to have limited time outside.

Mindset thought of the week: As we wrap up the year, we are reflecting on what our students have accomplished. Our hope is that they gained foundational knowledge in each of their academic classes. Our greater hope is that they have a desire to continue to learn and have found a passion for learning. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once wrote, “If you wish to build a ship, do not divide the people into teams and send them to the forest to cut wood. Instead, teach them to long for the vast and endless sea.” we hope that our students have a passion to learn. If they have a passion the rest will fall into place. We wish everybody has a refreshing weekend and we can not wait to see everybody at IP night!

Carpool for Next Year
Are you interested in getting a carpool organized for next school year? We have had many inquiries already and thought we would open this up to parents that want to make the arrangements before summer begins. Please follow follow this link to access the Google Form questionnaire. Fill out the info and submit your response, then we will share the information with other parents that are interested in organizing shared transportation for the 2019-20 school year. This is entirely optional and we provide this survey as a courtesy to parents looking for assistance in arranging carpools to and from school. TRCS does not arrange carpools.
End of the Year Celebration/Field Day
The forecast for next Wednesday looks very warm. Please sunscreen your kids and send them with water bottles. Also, make sure they are wearing clothing that is ok to get dirty (some games can get messy!). Students have the option to purchase a Jimmy Johns sandwich, click here for more info. If you don't order a lunch, please pack a lunch for your student, as well as any parent volunteers attending on Wednesday. It is a regular school day, with drop off at 8:00 am and pick up at 3:00 pm. We still need help with water balloons and volunteers are still needed - sign up here!
A very special thank you to the 7th graders and Ms. Olson for planning this fun day for all of us!
