KAYS Held Girls Rock and Boys Roll Event

Saturday, April 6, the TRHS KAY Club hosted a fun, Girls Rock and Boys Roll event for the children of the community. This is a great experience for the high school students to interact with the younger kids who look up to them. The girls had the option of getting manicures and their hair done while the boys played various sports. Crafts, inside activities, and outdoor games allowed lots of play and something for everyone.
