(Photo submitted by Seone Hunter) Community Supporting our Schools The Back to School Bash was held this last weekend, sponsored by the TR Steering Committee. Thunder Ridge High School athletes and parents helped provide and serve a meal in efforts to raise funds for TR schools. Each fall, the Committee awards funds to each school/building that will aid in the benefit of the student body. They also support various student events throughout the school year. Your donations are greatly appreciated and go to supporting our youth.

Student athletes helped serve the community meal on Sunday, Aug. 27.
