Welcome to a beautiful and sunny week at TRS! As we move into another week of learning, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of our students and families. Our school continues to be a vibrant place of growth, connection, and care, and we are grateful for the ongoing support from our community. We look forward to a week filled with meaningful learning opportunities, where students are encouraged to take risks, build their skills, and celebrate their successes.
A reminder that our School Council meeting will take place this Thursday from 6:00–7:30 p.m. We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with families and hear your voices as we continue to support our students together.
Food Drive
We are excited to share that our school will be hosting a Food Drive from April 20–24 in support of the Calgary Food Bank. Food insecurity continues to impact many individuals and families in our community, and this initiative provides an important opportunity for our students to learn about the realities of food scarcity in a meaningful and age-appropriate way. As part of our commitment to supporting the whole child, we strive to build empathy, compassion, and a sense of social responsibility in our students. By participating in this food drive, students will see that their collective efforts can make a tangible difference and contribute to positive change within our community. We thank our families in advance for their generosity and support.
TRS Flex Time
Every Wednesday after school at TRS, Ms. Hassen and I offer TRS Flex time, where students are encouraged to bring work that they need extra support with! We have our 4 regular students, BUT we strongly encourage our older students preparing for PATs to attend for this extra support. We run from 3:16-4:00 p.m.
TRS Crocus Hunt
Last year at Terrace Road School, we started a new tradition for one of the first signs of spring in Alberta, which is the appearance of the crocus. We would love to continue that traditional this year- once the snow has most cleared, we invite families to go on walks and snap some beautiful photos of the crocus, which welcomes our beautiful Alberta Spring. We will add these to our Crocus Bulletin Board in our main foyer, now known internally as the Confluence- where the Bow Hallway meets the Elbow Hallway in our school. Crocus photos can be emailed to djbuchanan@cbe.ab.ca.
School Dance
We are so happy to welcome families to our first Dance of the year, our Annual TRS SPRING DANCE! The dance will occur on April 30 with kindergarten to grade 2 attending from 6 until 6:50 and then transitioning out to allow our grades 3-6 to come into the dance from 7 until 8 pm. Please remember that our dances are all chaperoned by parents and family members, so if your child is attending, we ask that you attend as well.
Healthy Hunger
The website for Healthy Hunger is www.healthyhunger.ca. Please ensure you register if you would like to order fun snacks or lunches!
Thank you so much for you continued support of our programming at Terrace Road School- we absolutely recognize the vital role families play in every child's education!
Cheers,
Dan
