Jog-A-Thon Raises Over $14,000!
 Not only was our annual Jog-a-Thon incredibly fun, but it raised more than $14,000! We're looking into using the funds for some improvements to the elementary playground.
It's such a wonderful thing to have our high school kids on campus for Service Day -- alongside a bevy of amazing parent (and grandparent) volunteers. We are very blessed! Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success!

 The Chenoweth Scholarship
Last year we had a series of tragedies hit our families at TRCS. Often, these things are unknown by the greater population -- especially the impact that these tragedies can have on our students.
TRCS is able to offer a financial aid program that helps defray a significant portion of tuition for many families in need. However, in some situations, that financial aid isn't enough. When death, illness, or job loss happens, many families are forced to disrupt their child's education. When they need continuity and the love of their school family the most, the burden of cost gets in the way.
One of the most difficult things about tuition-driven schools is that issue of affordability. Jim Chenoweth, former TRCS Administrator, has always had a keen awareness of the sacrifice that families make to afford tuition. The Chenoweth Scholarship Fund is a separate fund held by TRCS and distributed by a scholarship committee that will help students in duress to stay in school. The fund will be monitored by a scholarship committee that will collect tax-deductible donations and then privately evaluate need and awards. The name of the fund honors the heart of the man who has always known that these children are the center of the ministry - and the fund itself helps those children continue to have that ministry when they need it most.
This past year, we were able to distribute more than $10,000 in funds from this scholarship to help families in duress keep their children at TRCS. Please consider becoming a regular donor to this fund. Your monthly gift of $25, $50, $100 or more can help a student's life be less disrupted when tragedy strikes. If you'd like to learn more about how you can give to the Chenoweth scholarship, click here.
Have a great summer!

"A Child in Pre-K"
By Barb Noel
I learn through all my senses,
be it hearing, sight or touch.
Piaget says I'm a scientist
exploring, oh, so much!
Howard Gardner says I'm smart,
but not the way you think.
There are 8 intelligences or "talents"
making me unique.
Although I'm very social,
I need self-regulation skills;
taking turns and keeping my body calm
are my biggest learning "hills".
You'll be amazed how much I've learned
as I've gone throughout this year.
When Pre-K graduation comes,
you're sure to shed a tear.
So as my primary teacher,
please help along the way,
to nurture and to guide me -
remembering to play.
Einstein said play is my research ---
exploring the unknown -
cementing neural pathways
so the knowledge is my own.
So when others ask about your child
and what they've learned along the way -
share with them our journey
in the land we call "Pre-K"!
Rejoicing and appreciating the gift of families and children!
Wishing you and yours a Glorious Summer...
~ Academically Excellent ~ Joyfully Christian ~ Culturally Relevant ~

Wow, what a year! As I look at the overall picture of the K-12, 2015-2016 school year, I am amazed at what took place. Students, staff, and families worked so hard and God blessed us richly. I'd like to highlight a few students who took their educational opportunities and made the "best of it!"
Elizabeth McCarthy graduated #1 at TRCS with a 4.0 GPA. She earned the title of Valedictorian! She also excelled at LCC by earning the Outstanding History Student of the year and the LCC Scholastic Achievement Award. What accomplishments she earned -- and she now plans on attending the University of Washington in September! Anna Claunch also excelled at TRCS and LCC. Anna was a the Student Council President and Key Club Vice President. She also had a very impressive GPA. Anna studied hard, sacrificed her time serving her school and church, and held a job! She applied for many scholarships and in the end, Anna received over $30,000! She will be attending Seattle Pacific University in September. At the elementary campus, two students earned special recognition. Gage Stout earned the Principal's Award for outstanding effort and improvement this year. He had the courage to overcome obstacles, build character, and exemplify the meaning of "grit." The Outstanding Student Award went to Aniya Conrad. Aniya excelled in academics, effort, Godly character, kindness, and an overall servant attitude. Students who use the gifts that God has to offer bless their families, their community, and school. It's been a wonderful year! Blessings to you, Randy Lemiere

Athletic Director's Message
Congratulations to Selena Carns and Hannah Cathcart on their journey to the State Tournament in Tennis! Go EaGALS!
Looking ahead to next years athletic calendar, there are several important dates and things to remember:
First, please make sure your student athlete has an updated physical. The physicals are good for two years. Please call your health care provider to ensure your child's physical is current. If the physical is not current please make an appointment ASAP. If you wait until the start of next school year, it is very difficult to get an appointment.
Next, make sure to have all forms on the website filled out and brought to the first practice. Forms can be found under the athletic tab. If forms are not filled out the athlete is not eligible to practice.
The Fall 2016-17 practice information is as follows: Middle school volleyball 5th- 8th grade girls. The first practice will be Tuesday, August 30th at TRC High School from 4:30-6:00 p.m. There will be two teams and TRC will be combining with St. Rose. The fee will be $100 for TRC athletes. Please give the checks to the front office. There will be a parent meeting after practice to inform you about dates, times, teams etc.
Cross Country and High School volleyball practices will start on Monday, August 22nd. More information will be posted on the TRC website on August 1. If you have any questions concerning athletic information feel free to email or call me. Don't forget the athletes must have 10 practices to be eligible. Please make practices a priority. I know our coaches appreciate it.
One last bit of business. Don't forget to sign up for the fireworks booth. The booth is open from June 28-July 4. This is our big athletic fundraiser and we need all families of athletes to help.
Blessings and have a great summer,
Tim.
