Dear Retriever Families,
Happy New Year and a Happy Lunar New Year for our families who will be celebrating later this month! For educators, our big new year celebration comes at the beginning of each school year, and it’s hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through this one! We have many exciting events to look forward to through the end of winter and this spring! We will be meeting soon with Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Harrison, our physical education team, to begin planning for field day! Mark your calendars for May 18th and the rain date of May 26th to volunteer for our 24th annual TRES fun field day! We will need approximately 100 parent volunteers for this full day of activities!
Our Cardboard Challenge is next week, followed by PTA's International Night at the end of the month, and the PTA Family Dance in February. The TRES staff is hosting our first Family Math night March 9th. We look forward to connecting with you and hope that you consider joining us for these events!
Warmly,
Dr. Tiffany TRESler, Principal TRES
Mrs. Heather Moraff, Assistant Principal TRES
