Dear Timber Trail Families,
It was great to see so many of you on Wednesday evening. On behalf of the Timber Trail teachers, I want to thank you for attending our Showcase Evening.  
Our Showcase Event was designed for parents to see and experience first hand what their students have been learning during the first semester of school.  Students became the teachers and presenters and were so proud to share their projects and experiences with their families.  As we know, students learn best through authentic, hands on experiences, and we wanted to give our parents that same opportunity.
We also wanted parents to see the other parts of the school, curriculum or their child's day besides the classroom; for example the specials classes and MakerSpace.  In addition, the 5th grade ‘Trash to Treasure’ art silent auction raised over $1,000 for the Washed Ashore and Stand for Trees organizations.
We hope that you found the Showcase Event informative, purposeful and fun.  I would be happy to hear feedback from you as we look to planning next year’s event.
 
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for making Timber Trail the school where “Hearts and Minds Connect”.
 
Michele Radke, Principal
