Thank you to everybody that attended the state of the school meeting last night. It was great to see you all and talk more about TRCS, as well as to reflect on the first half of the year while looking forward to the second half. We talked about important calendar dates coming up, ODS/4-5 week, and curriculum. We have such a wonderful, supportive community! Thank you.
The board also talked about the creation of the five-year strategic plan. They would like you to fill out the linked survey so they can gain insight into the parent’s voice. Please take the time to fill out the survey. Your feedback will go a long way in helping shape the school in the coming years.
Take the survey now!
Compassion thought of the week: One of our 6th-grade students spoke about how an act of compassion affects them. They said, “I remember when someone in my math class would always get me a practice sheet whenever we had them. I would sometimes pick a seat and go check out a computer, but when I came back, I found our class’ warm-up sheet on my desk.” What a great example of an act of compassion. All acts of compassion, whether small or large, leave a lasting impact.
I hope you have a great weekend and we will see everybody on Monday.

Here's your January BottleDrop update. We are making steady progress but need your help! We are still shy of the $1,000 mark. Let's see if we can achieve that milestone by the end of February! Our goal might have been lofty, but if each family donates 4 bags this school year, we will be close! Have you donated four bags yet?
A few things to remember: fill your bags completely! We lose $0.40 cents on each bag for processing, so fill them up! Don't smash or crush your cans, the reader needs to be able to scan the bar code! Ask your neighbors, co-workers, etc. to collect for you! Need more bags? We just ordered 80 more bags!
