Can you please send this out to TRMS families?

Good evening TRMS families,

Just wanted to let you know about the Summer Camp opportunity we are bringing to BHMS & TRMS this year!

Coach Kaitlyn Zarpentine will be coming to run a camp for both middle schools on August 3-5 at TRMS. She has some impressive playing and coaching credentials, and I'm excited to have her come and work with our athletes!

We applied to the Rec District for funds again, to bring in this outside camp, and they've granted us $150 per kid for up to 30 athletes. This brings the camp cost down to $50 per camper!

You can register here if you're interested: https://forms.gle/88en8axoQtUXambP7

The camp flyer is also attached below, if you want to see more details about Coach Zarpentine and what she has to offer our athletes!

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Best,

Coach Olson

It is time to start having some conversations with your student about Teton Science School next year! This is an incredible experience for students, but it does cost money. The total cost is $500, but we provide plenty of fundraising opportunities to help students raise the money.

The first opportunity for students is a car wash, bake sale, farmers market combo during AEP week. Last year, this raised hundreds of dollars for students. Not many students signed up, but we would be able to move some things around if you want your student to participate and earn some money towards their trip. Please contact Ms. Seiler for more information . jseiler@sheridan.k12.wy.us

# data[].attributes.body

This is a great opportunity for students! They will need to back a sack lunch that day. If they need one, let me know and we can arrange something!
