Happy Friday! It has been another great week at TRCS. It was mid-terms and MAP testing week, which had the potential of causing some stress around the school. However, our staff and students have done a fantastic job managing it all. It is wonderful to see all the growth that has happened since the fall. Great job, TRCS! Penny Wars has been a big hit this week. It is great to see our students so excited to raise money for new recess equipment. We have two more weeks before the winning grade level starts to pick out new equipment with the funds raised!
I am looking forward to the upcoming swimming week. We are going to have so much fun! Please make sure your student brings a towel, well-fitting swimwear, and a plastic bag each day to bring home wet suits and towels!
Compassion thought of the week: As we go into MLK weekend, I wanted to send you one of my favorite quotes from MLK as we celebrate his day. He said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” This is so simple yet has the power to change the world.
I hope you have an excellent three day weekend and we will see everybody on Tuesday.

Please plan on joining us Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 pm for the 2020 State of the School meeting. Come and hear about upcoming events, Student Success Act, board goals/strategic plan, outdoor school and 4/5 week. We ask that at least one representative from each family attend, and that students stay at home. This is a time to stop mid-year to see where we have been and where we are going. We are looking for a few volunteers to bring in baked goods that we can serve at the meeting. Please email
