- Our Annual Talent & Art Show is this Friday, May 2, starting at 5 pm! View incredible artwork created by our students, displayed in the Cafeteria Lobby. Enjoy dinner from Taste of Taylor's or Jamrock Jamaican, and treat yourself to dessert from Chocolate & S'mores. Then, grab a seat in the Trask Cafe for a wonderful evening showcasing the amazing talent we have at Trask. Bring the whole family for a fun night filled with art, music, laughter, and delicious food! Join us in supporting your friends and raising money for Relay For Life. Admission is by donation.
- Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner! We need your help to wrap appreciation around our staff!

- We are just shy of 40% of our goal of making a change for change! We have raised close to $400 already! The local school is already beyond grateful for this, but we want to give them more! Please consider looking in your couches and around your house for spare change! Bring it in, and we will tally the total amount on Friday! The fundraiser ends this Friday! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN, BEARS!
- Monday is the last day in April for 8th-grade formal tickets for $15! Tickets increase to $20 in May!
