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.

Representative Angerer is a frequent visitor to TRE and especially so during March is Reading Month. But, due to her work in the current legislative session she had to send two of her aides to our school to read to our 2nd grade students. Representative Angerer apologized for not being here but the two aides she sent did a fabulous job reading to our students. Thank you Mr. Marl and Ms. Arents! See pictures below…

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. The 6th grade students participated in an internet safety course with Deputy Krupp this morning and learned a lot of important safety guidelines that will help keep them safe when using the internet. Thanks Deputy Krupp!
