TRS is Having a Birthday

 

The Raleigh School is turning 70! We will be celebrating this incredible milestone throughout the year. The school began in 1952 when a group of parents were looking for a progressive, secular, integrated preschool that focused on play and understood the importance of parental involvement. They couldn't find one, so they came together and created the school, bringing to Raleigh what was a relatively new concept at the time: a play-based, hands-on and child-centered approach to education. The rest is a rich history. We hope to see you at a celebration in the coming months. First up will be our Tailgate on Sunday, September 18th. Mark your calendars!

 

Field Day returned to TRS in May. Thanks to Casey Beauchamp, PE & Wellness teacher, for putting on a great "show" and day for our kids! Per usual, nothing happens at TRS without great parent support. Many volunteers joined elementary teachers and classes from kindergarten through fifth grade in this 13-station event. There were popsicles, water activities (it was a hot day), and so many smiles, we lost count!
