YOU'RE INVITED!
to the
Back To School BBQ  

Wednesday, August 4th 
hosted by the TTEA
(Timber Trail Educational Alliance)

Please RSVP via Evite.com by Wednesday, June 16th
so that we have enough hot dogs for everyone

Click HERE to view the Evite invitation.     

This event will be a great way for students and parents to meet others in their class and will serve as a fundraiser for the school. 

This year TTEA's main fund-raiser is called "30K in 30 Days".   The goal of this drive is to raise $30,000 between Wednesday, August 4th and Thursday, September 2nd.   

If donations received during these thirty days averaged $50 for every student at Timber Trail, the goal would be reached!  

The money earned will be put towards science kits and technology for the 2010-11 school year.  

We will be raffling off three great prizes at the BBQ!

o A new Apple iPad

o Two TTE parking spots

In order to receive raffle tickets and participate in the drawing, donations must be received on Wednesday, August 4th.  You can make your donation on Wednesday, August 4th at Timber Trail or at the BBQ that afternoon.  The "30K in 30 Days" fundraising drive will end on Thursday, September 2nd.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Looking forward to next year and anticipating changes.  We know that since all students will be in session at once, our Kiss 'N Go Lane and parking lot are going to be crowded at drop off and dismissal.  We would like to start practicing now.  Please be aware of a few things that will keep our line moving, while keeping students safe.  Please……

1.  Stay in your car!!!!!  Do not get out to open the car door for your child.

2.  Pull all the way through the crosswalk if possible before stopping.

3.  Do not let your child exit your car on the driver's side.   This is unsafe.

4.  Motion to a staff member if you would like us to open the door for your child.

5.  If you need to get out of your car for any reason (to give your teacher a note, to talk to a bus driver, to help your child put their backpack on), please park in the upper parking lot and walk your child through the crosswalk.

6.  Have your child/ren ready to exit your car quickly (coat on, backpack ready, shoes on…)

7.  If your child is unable to exit your car independently, please park in the upper parking lot.

8.  Do not motion for your child to walk unattended through the crosswalk to the upper parking lot.  We've had a few "close calls".

9.  Walkers:  please wait for the crosswalk attendant to acknowledge you before crossing.

10. Thank you for cooperating and being respectful to our staff who work so hard everyday to make sure your children are safe and our Kiss 'N Go Lane moves efficiently.

Please feel free to pass this message on to grandparents, babysitters, siblings etc….

Would you like to have all of the events and happenings at Timber Trail easily accessable to you and your family?

TTEA is currently selling school calendars for the 2010 - 2011 school year!

These calendars are reasonably priced and will help you stay organized. Order forms recently went home in Thursday folders or can be downloaded below. 

All profits from the school calendars will directly benefit TTEA and our school!

Recently, Timber Trail Elementary began piloting a literacy program called Reading Plus.  This program is a web-based reading and intervention system that uses technology to provide individualized silent reading practice for students in second grade and above.

This program is currently being used at Rocky Heights Middle School as well. The Building Resource Teachers (BRT) from the Rock Canyon Feeder have recently secured a grant that will provide licenses for all four elementary schools (Timber Trail, Buffalo Ridge, Redstone and Wildcat) at a greatly reduced price.

Kristie Krier, Timber Trail's BRT, was able to secure the pilot program for Timber Trail for the second half of the 2009 - 2010 school year.  The program license per school cost $15,000 per year.  Since receiving the grant, three of the four elementary schools will now have access to the program for three years at the greatly reduced fee of only $2912.50!   Read More ...

Recently, a much anticipated dream became a reality for the students of Timber Trail Elementary and Mr. Newman, the school's PE Teacher.  After a few years of fundraising and hard work, the Timber Trail Education Alliance (TTEA) was able to purchase and install an 8 X 24 foot climbing wall in the school's gymnasium. 

The addition of the climbing wall will provide many benefits for the school.  It is an excellent tool  for cross-curricular support and can offer non-traditional physical education for students who shy away from traditional sports.   Future plans may also include using the climbing wall as an enrichment tool for after school clubs.

The funds for the climbing wall were generated mostly from Tae Kwon Do lessons from Master Lee of Han Lee's TaeKwonDo Academy.  Assemblies were held by Master Lee as a means to generate new student registrations.  Master Lee then generously donated all proceeds of each new member Read More ...

Timber Trail Elementary recently hosted the first-ever Invention Convention.  The event was held on May 12th and showcased the inventions of 4th and 5th graders.

The convention, which will take place biennially, was mandatory for fourth graders and optional for fifth graders, with students working either individually or in small groups.  The convention showcased 67 inventions and was overseen by Ms. Sara Haynes, fourth  grade teacher, and Mr. Tony Greene, fifth grade teacher.

The purpose of the convention was for students to use their creative and scientific talents to invent a new product.  The inventions were planned and created at home over a six-week timeframe.  The inventions had to meet certain criteria such as beng a unique and original idea that solved a problem and would be useful to the average person.  Read More ...
