-Dr McGill & Mrs Wise
The Timber Ridge Foundation In 2005, a group of parents gathered to discuss county and state budget cuts in education and their impact on Timber Ridge The group suggested forming a foundation to offer Timber Ridge parents and the local community ways to contribute to enhance the curriculum and address the educational needs of the school The suggestion was met with overwhelming support by parents, teachers, and school staff. Soon after, the Timber Ridge Foundation (TRF) was formed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
