The Trailside Twister
October 2019
Principal's Corner
Hello Trailside Families!
The 2019-2020 school year is off to a great start! I would like to thank the Trailside PTO and all the families who helped raise over $6000 for Trailside through the color walk fundraiser. Since we crushed our goal, I will be "slimed" during an assembly on October 22nd. Our next PTO sponsored event is our first ever Trunk or Treat on Friday October 11th. Everyone is invited to this event and we ask that you bring a nonperishable food item to donate.
As we continue to strive for solid communication between Trailside and our families, we have created a Trailside Frequently Asked Questions document. Feedback we received from our family surveys helped us with creating this tool and we hope it help answer any questions you may have. If there is a question or topic we can add, please let us know! Please click here for the link.
Thank you,
Jim Dembosky

I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Carroll University, my Masters Degree from Silver Lake College, and my Mathematics Specialist Certificate from UW-Stout.
