Dear Beloved TRA Family,
As we reflect upon the vibrant tapestry of the 2024-2025 school year at TRA, it is clear that while our days were wonderfully full, our Great God has, with boundless generosity, provided for our every need and then some! Indeed, the words of Ephesians 3:20-21 echo profoundly in our hearts: "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
And truly, God has done "far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" right here at TRA this past year. Behold the abundant blessings poured out upon us:
A Playground of Joy: Our new PreK-K playground, now open to all TRA elementary students, offering delightful space for play before and after school, on weekends, and throughout the summer.
Run with Faith! Takes Off: A brand-new club for girls in grades 3-8, fostering strength, fellowship, and spiritual growth.
Project Legacy Soars: Securing the building permit for Phases 1 & 2 of our new school building, alongside a monumental $6 million in funding – a powerful testament to His faithful provision!
A Transformed Fireside Room: Enhanced with a new projector and immersive surround sound system, perfect for community gatherings and enriching learning.
Strengthening Our Leadership: Welcoming two new TRA administrators, completing our dedicated team for the upcoming year.
Growing Classrooms: Doubling our 4th-grade class to two sections, accommodating our thriving student body.
Summer of Enrichment: Launching our inaugural four-week summer enrichment program, offering exciting opportunities for continued learning and fun.
Gym Transformation Continues: Phase 2 of the gym conversion is underway, with brilliant new spotlights already installed and comprehensive sound panels planned for the summer – enhancing every athletic and community event.
Strategic Vision: Near completion of our new five-year strategic plan, which we eagerly anticipate sharing with you in the upcoming school year, guiding our path forward with purpose.
Math Success with Mathodology: A triumphant first year for our new elementary math program, Mathodology, empowering students to become truly critical thinkers.
Nurturing Our Youngest Learners: Introducing a new two-day-a-week program for three-year-olds, welcoming even more precious souls into the TRA family.
A Graduating Class of Distinction: Celebrating our largest ever graduating class of 17 students, ready to impact the world for Christ.
Expanding Our Reach: A new full-time marketing position to joyfully share the unique mission and vision of TRA with our wider community.
This remarkable list merely scratches the surface of the countless ways God has blessed TRA this past school year. None of these triumphs would have been possible without your faithful partnership and unwavering support. To God alone be the glory!
As the summer sun shines upon us, may our Lord grant you a restful, rejuvenating, and deeply blessed season. May your child(ren) be refreshed and eager as they prepare their hearts and minds for the exciting 2025-2026 school year ahead.
In Christ,
