Thunder Ridge School News
The TRHS KAYS held the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 31st. The generous donations of eggs from the local businesses made this event possible and enjoyable for numerous community children. It was rather chilly and all the kids were bundled up in winter coats as it tried to snow on Saturday! But everyone had lots of fun. -Pics by Robin Billings

Don’t wait for things to get easier, simpler, better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy right now. Otherwise, you’ll run out of time.
