Our last big PTA event of the year is our school carnival. If you haven't already please mark your calendars for Friday, May 21st from 5-8pm. Remember too that the only way to have a successful carnival is if we have volunteers to help with the games. It's very easy and only for short amount of time. The more volunteers we have the more games we have. The fewer volunteers we have the fewer games that will be available for everyone.
Pre-sale tickets are on sale until Thursday, May 20th and can be used for food or games. 5 tickets for $1.00 on pre-sale and 4 tickets for $1.00 the day of the carnival. There will also be raffle tickets on sale for $5.00 and a chance to win $250.00.
A volunteer form went home with students last week and the PTA is sending out another one with students today (Wednesday) or you can stop by the office and ask for a volunteer form. You can volunteer to help with games, food, or ticket sales.
Our Carnival is always a big school event and we are looking forward to a great time on May 21st.

Pictures from the 3rd Grade Music Program Entitled Musical Masterpieces
Mrs. Edwards (music teacher) and Mrs. Schalmo (art teacher) collaborated and put together a wonderful art and music program called Musical Masterpieces. Our third grade students painted canvas backdrops of art masterpieces and then selected students posed as if they were part of the painting while the rest of the students sang a song that exemplified the painting represented. This interdisciplinary approach to a music program provided not only a great learning experience for the students but a wonderful performance that was enjoyed by all who attended. A big thanks goes out to Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Schalmo!

Big Week for All Bedford Schools (Accreditation Review)
Dear Parents,
As I have mentioned this school year, this week is a big week for all Bedford schools as we are being visited by NCA-Advance Ed for a district accreditation review. For many years individual schools including TRE have sought accreditation but this year all schools joined together to seek district accreditation. A visiting accreditation team came in on Sunday evening and met with central office and principals and this week Monday through Wednesday the accreditation team will be interviewing teachers, staff, principals, parents, administration, and community members. They will also be doing on site visits to various schools. This whole process is something the schools have been working towards for the last 18 months. The district will hear about our accreditation status in a summary report by the visiting team on Wednesday.

Pictures from VIP Day
On Friday, our school celebrated our annual VIP day. We had hundreds and hundreds of VIP's come through our doors to visit with their special student. We stared off in the gym with a welcome and four songs from our first grade classes. PTA provided wonderful decorations and refreshments for our guests and then it was off to the classrooms for some fun with the students. Our sixth grade students also had a bake sale going on with money raised to go to Relay for Life and Heart of Hope charities. It was great to see our VIP's having such a great time in the classrooms with the students. It was a memory both shall not soon forget. Here are some pictures. I will add more over the next few days.
Pictures from our D.A.R.E. Program
Last Thursday our 5th grade students had their D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony. We appreciate all the work Deputy Sehl does as our D.A.R.E. officer and resource officer for the school district. The students learned a lot from him and the life lessons he presented will stay with them for a long time to come.

Internet Safety Course Presented to 6th Grade by Deputy Krupp
Our Bedford Resource Officers (Deputy Sehl and Deputy Krupp) do such a great job with informational programs that really address key safety issues with our students and today was an example of that.

Thanks Deputy Krupp!

Individual Came on TRE School Property Looking For Bike 3-12-10 PM
Dear TRE Parents and Staff:
Given the recent event at Longfellow elementary in Toledo I thought it would be prudent to communicate to parents and staff lest any rumors start to fly. The school received a call from the church across the street that an individual came to the church saying he was looking for his bike and he thought it was at either at the church or a school. When he was told it was not at the church he started making his way over to the school and the church let us know he was coming. I met the individual outside in front of the school. He told me he was looking for his bike. He said he was frustrated he couldn’t find it and asked if I could call someone to help. I called the police to come over and assist with the situation. Thanks to the quick response of our Sherriff’s department we had multiple marked and unmarked police cars in a matter of two minutes. They were able to talk to the individual and assist him by taking him off school property. This individual did not come looking for anyone but he also had no business being on school property. Deputy Sehl will process a no trespassing communication to this individual so that he knows he is not to come on to school property in the future. This all happened without incident and thanks to the quick response of our Sherriff’s department it was all taken care in a matter of minutes. Everything was quite safe but given recent events I wanted to be proactive in communicating to our staff and parents. I will be sending this to staff via email and posting this communication on our website blog as an announcement to our parents. The only people who viewed this occurrence were a couple of visitors coming into the building at that time and some that were in the office. It did not disrupt our school at all. A big thanks goes out to our sheriff’s department for coming and assisting so quickly.
Sincerely,
Bob Harris
