MAY 20 TTE End of Year family picnic at Coyote Ridge Park 3:30 pm-dusk 24 Last day of school! Dear Timber Trail Families, It is hard to believe that we are down to only seven days of school for this year. The last weeks of school are filled with a flurry of activities; staff appreciation, 2nd/3rd grade choir concert, variety show, 5th grade dance, 4th grade invention convention, end of year parties, etc. For the past couple of years two of these activities have happened on the same day; Kindergarten Orientation and the first day of Outdoor Education for 5th grade. I have come to look upon that day as a representation of the circle of life at TTE. We start the morning by loading the buses for Outdoor Ed with luggage, sleeping bags, and 5th graders who are full of excitement, expectations, and feelings of nervousness about the unknown. As students drop off their luggage in the gym, some are so excited for the adventure that I have to remind them to say good-bye to their parents. Others stand close to mom and dad, hesitant to be away from home for the first time. That same evening I stand again in the gym and welcome the parents of our incoming kindergarteners. I know that on the first day of school in August I will see similar looks on the faces of those 5 year olds as I did on the 5th graders that morning. In both instances parents are sending their babies to brand new experiences and chapter in their lives. We at TTE are proud and honored to be a part of your child's educational and life experiences. Michele Radke Principal Below are a few pictures from Outdoor Ed on Thursday.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR 2016-2017 Timber Trail Elementary offers the EduKit program as an option for our busy families to order supplies for the upcoming school year. The program is a time saving, simple way for you to ensure that your student has exactly the correct supplies needed to start the year off right. Avoid the back-to-school rush and going from store to store to get all of the required items. EduKit will take care of that for you. Order by June 10 for best pricing and free shipping. Your child's kit will be on their desk the first day of school. To order: 1. Go to www.edukitinc.com. 2. Pay online through EduKit's secure website. After June 10, kits may be purchased online through EduKit's Last Chance program until July 18. Last Chance kits will be delivered to your home shortly before school begins. There is an additional fee for Last Chance kits. Thank you for your participation in the EduKit program!
