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 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.

Tipton Rosemark Academy granted their 8th Make-A-Wish Foundation Wish on Friday, April 1st. Sweet little 5 year old Emma is in remission and has always wanted to go to Disney World. Our students and faculty have been seeing to it all year that we raise enough money to give her that wish. 
After Emma went on an expedition with our own version of Dora the Explorer, she told our students about her illness and even shared some stories in the theatre where she was met by the TRA cast of Cinderella. Prince Charming found out that the glass slipper fit Emma the best! She and her family now have a special place in our hearts and we hope that they have a wonderful trip to Disney World!
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 to mention a few. It is not a mandatory trip, but usually over 80% of the class participates and parents are welcome to join us. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that we are so happy to offer our students.
