TRA's After-School Creative Writing Club welcomed 40 students in grades 4th-6th. Ms. Miner and Mrs. Snook created the eight-week club to provide students with a space to grow their writing, share ideas, and provide feedback for each other's work. Children’s book author Sarah Weeks presented via Zoom during three sessions and joined students in person for the final session on December 21. The culminating experience was rewarding for all!

After a read-aloud of “Edward Gets Messy,” students discussed the importance of recognizing the feelings and perspectives of others, including ways demonstrate empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Fourth and fifth grade teams competed at the BOCES Engineering Day on November 9th. Teams were given a limited time to create a Rube-Goldberg (Chain Reaction) Machine in order to accomplish the goal of ringing a bell. Students had to work together with a box of materials (unknown to them beforehand) to build and demonstrate the machine, record the steps and create an oral presentation for judges. We are so proud of our 4th and 5th graders on rising to the challenge!
