A Message From Our Principal
Thank You For Your Support
I want to take a moment to thank our TRMS family for your incredible generosity and support! Together, we raised more than $25,000, and every dollar will be reinvested right here at TRMS to benefit our students. Over the years, your contributions have helped us add two gaga ball pits and our new 9 Square game to the playground. Last year, we also gave grade-level teams the opportunity to use these funds to support the unique needs of the students they serve. Thank you for continuing to make a difference in the lives of our students!
A Reminder About Bikes and Scooters
Please remind students to secure bikes and scooters with a lock at the bike rack. Our School Resource Officer (SRO) has reported several theft incidents, and the consistent recommendation is to lock up personal property. This is especially important when bikes and scooters are left overnight or during after-school activities. We shared an email reminder last week regarding this safety reminder, and we appreciate your assistance in keeping students' belongings safe.
*Please also remind students that bikes and scooters cannot block building exits/doors*
Donut Day Volunteers needed!
Donut Day - Friday 11/13. TRMS PTA will be providing donuts to all students and staff!
If you are interested in volunteering from 8:30 - 10:30 please reach out to pta.trms14@gmail.com🎉 Congrats to our TRMS Grant Recipients!
Two TRMS teachers were awarded TAL GRANTS from the Gardner Edgerton Schools Foundation! These grants support creative projects, engaging learning experiences, and opportunities that make a difference for our students.
