NEW swag at TBR!!

We are excited to offer the opportunity to purchase school swag with our updated logo. We now have two different styles of hats and also toques! All styles of hats are $25 and are available on a first come, first served basis starting tomorrow!

Students are welcome to either bring $25 in cash, or parents can call and have this fee added to their Powerschool account. There are limited quantities available for all styles.

In addition, we continue to have new hoodies available for purchase as well in expanded sizes.

Gift Card Drive

In lieu of collecting specific items for Holiday Hampers this year, we are rolling out a gift card drive to support families in need in our school community. Gift cards provide the flexibility to purchase items such as formula and diapers, holiday gifts, winter clothing, and other basic needs such as food items.

If you would like to contribute to this worthwhile cause, each grade team is responsible for collecting specific gift cards:

Grade 7: Superstore         Grade 8: Safeway       Grade 9: Wal-Mart

Please try to keep the denominations to $20, $25 or $50 so we have flexibility to divide to families in need. You are welcome to purchase multiple cards in these denominations. Your support is so appreciated.

Our goal is $2000 per grade for each store. The grade team who collects the most value in gift cards will receive either an additional intramural lunch period OR a movie afternoon (homeroom choice).

We will collect gift cards beginning Monday until December 13.
