Special Events

The Raleigh School has many exciting events throughout the year, and these translate into fun for our families.

The Carnival is a fall event brimming with smiling children and families excited to take in the games, crafts, and shows. The next TRS Carnival will take place on Saturday, September 21, 2024.

This day is a wonderful opportunity for school families, alumni and friends to enjoy our beautiful campus and spend time together. Parent volunteers coordinate the event providing an endless amount of creativity and fun.

The Raleigh COOL will take place on Saturday, May 17th, 2025. This is a casual on-campus party for adults where Raleigh School parents, alumni parents, and friends gather for an evening spent tasting local food, sampling craft beer, and outbidding other attendees during the auction to win trips, student masterpieces, and spa days. Proceeds raise funds for tuition assistance.

Grandparents and Grandfriends' Day allows us to show off the campus to beloved visitors. Our children are rarely more excited than when a grandparent or grandfriend joins us for this special day. The morning starts with a breakfast reception and a program featuring sharing from elementary and classes. Following the program our special guests are invited to visit their grandchild's classroom and meet teachers. We will host grandparents and grandfriends again on May 9th, 2025.

One of our core family values is to participate in and give back to the community in which we live because we want it to be successful, to be vibrant and to thrive. Why wouldn’t we want the same thing for the thoughtful and vibrant TRS community where our child is able to thrive and be successful in so many ways? Every year, it is our top priority to support TRS and give to the Annual Fund.
