Wildcat Basketball has Arrived!
- A1 ran away from Hocker Grove late in the second quarter and never looked back. Strong ball movement and tough defense trumped the Eagles.
- A2 was neck and neck but eventually fell by three in the Auxiliary gym. Great support from the TR community cheered Coach Murphy and the team.
- A3 capped the night in the main gym with a solid win in front of a strong crowd.
Student fans, please remember:
- If you are attending without parents, a neon yellow Loud Crowd shirt is needed
- Meet in the MPR with all of your belongings promptly at 4:00. Do NOT leave campus...if you leave campus, you may not attend the game.
- Cheer for our Wildcats...not against opponents.

TR Battle of the Books kicked off competition this week...details coming your way with pictures!
$700 in Books to TR this Week!
The bookfair came to an end successfully this past week. Thank you to the multiple parent volunteers who made it in to greet and engage with our students as they picked out ways to read beyond the school day. Specifically thank you to PTA president Jennifer Cheffey for set up and tear down.
There were nearly $700 worth of new books earned for TR classrooms because of your support of the book fair!
TR Music ROCKS...literally! Kudos Dr. Bishop!
Traversing the Trail, an original orchestra piece composed by our very own Dr. Bishop is coming out this Spring. Dedicated to the '19-20 Trailridge Middle School 8th Grade Orchestra, you can expect to hear this throughout the Spring.
Don't look now...but Lifetouch pictures should have made it to you this past Thursday!
