As we approach the winter break, we want to take a moment to acknowledge all the hard work, growth, and resilience our students have shown this year. The holidays are a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect, and take care of yourselves. Embrace this time to rest, recharge, and celebrate your accomplishments—big or small.
Remember to cherish moments with your loved ones, focus on what brings you joy, and practice self-care. You’ve earned this break, and we believe in your ability to return stronger and ready for the exciting opportunities the new year will bring.
Wishing you warmth, happiness, and peace this holiday season.
With pride and encouragement,
Your TRHS School Counselors
For all things Counseling, check out this week’s Counseling Newsletter!
Happy Winter Break from the International Baccalaureate team! All of our IB students have done such a great job this semester and deserve a nice break from school to enjoy some time with family and friends.
While many of our Grizzlies will spend time close to home this holiday season we know that many others will travel and see the world. With that in mind, we in the IB world want to know about your exciting global travels over break. So when we come back next semester please send your favorite holiday travel photos with a small caption to trhsib11@dcsdk12.org to be showcased in this weekly newsletter. We know the TRHS community goes to a lot of amazing places, and this opportunity gives us a chance to show off all those amazing people and amazing places!!
Happy Holidays from Mr. Risner, Mrs. Berrett-Braun, and Mrs. Lakeland
