Heart and Soul and Digital Citizenship

We are so excited to have our Heart and Soul program in the elementary through high school grades. Our students are learning exactly what bullying is and how to stand up against it. One of the benefits of this program is the family like atmosphere that it is helping to foster. We are thrilled with the results that we are seeing from Heart and Soul. Check out the Action News 5 Story on our Heart and Soul Anti-Bullying program! Or check out CNN.comwhere TRA then-8th grade student, Alexa Crum, submitted an iMovie about school bullying. Alexa's video was chosen for their discussion page. TRA is very proud of Alexa and our students for standing up to bullying.

Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, TRA added Digital Citizenship to the Heart and Soul Program. During this time students learn to use the internet, social media, and technology appropriately.

Annual Washington D.C. 8th Grade Trip

For over 20 years, TRA has taken members of the 8th grade class to Washington, DC and the surrounding historical areas. The students spend five days touring the city and visiting sites such as Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, the Holocaust Museum, Ford's Theatre, Mount Vernon, the Museum of National Archives, and the Capitol. It is not a mandatory trip, but usually more than 80% of the class participates and parents are welcomed as well. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that we offer to our students.
