Upper School Review

BY STEPHANIE WEHRER

Well, it sure has been an interesting and unexpected week for everyone in the TRA community, hasn’t it? We were preparing for a shorter week with students for parent-teacher conferences, but I sure never expected to have a 3-day break in the middle of the week thanks to the ice! I hope everyone has managed to keep power, stay warm and cozy inside and not have to brave the sketchy road conditions out there.

Before the unexpected break, our middle school students with the help of Mrs, Hannah Maddux, have organized a new Math club in the middle school grades! They have already had one meeting, and brainstormed many great ideas for how to get people at TRA excited about math. One of their first activities was to set up data collection stations polling out students in middle and high school about who their favorite rapper was. They will then compile the responses and aggregate them into a graphic representation to report back to everyone. Great work Math club!

Our middle school basketball teams kick off their end of season tournaments this weekend, and they have all been working so hard down the final stretch of their season. We want to wish all of our boys and girls middle school teams the best of luck for safe competition and hopefully some big wins!
