News From the Ranch
October 19, 2025, Vol. 1, Issue 12
Dear TRE Family,
What a great week and family night on Wednesday! Thank you to all who came out to support and gather as a community. From a chicken nugget eating contest at Chick-fil-A, to roller skating and dice skating games...what a fun night!
We have our Trunk or Treat event this Friday, October 24th from 4:00-6:00 PM. Mo Bites will be on site selling delicious burgers. Join us at this fun family event. PTA still has spots left to signup for a decorated trunk. We would love for more families to join in the fun. If you haven't already donated, the PTA is still in need of candy donations for this event. You can drop off donations in the monster cans out front of school. We hope to see you there on Friday night.
