Inside Ride - A GREAT Success!

Our first annual Inside Ride event was a hit.  We had 8 teams and managed to raise over $2700!!  All teams showed tremendous spirit from start to finish.  Medals were awarded to:

1.  Highest Mileage - Team Razor (captain Kyle Taylor)

2.  Best Spirit - Team Kickin it with Katie (captain Erin Young-Lowe)

3.  Best Costume - Team The Unstoppables (captain Hailey Levick)

4.  Top Fundraisers - Team Sweat for Survival (captain Johanna deWitt)

5.  Top Male Fundraiser - Christian Anderson (pictured here with event organizers)

6.  Top Female Fundraiser - Destyni Parsonson (pictured here with event organizers)

It was a party atmosphere and, hopefully, other students will want to participate in the next Inside Ride. Special thanks to Mrs. Launderville's period 1 class for preparing the snacks, Mrs. Nickerson for buying the water, Ms. Penson and Ms. Reynolds for two great posters, and everyone who donated and supported the event.

You can still donate online at www.trentonhs.theinsideride.com until the end of the school year.  For more pictures, see our Galleries.

Anti-Hate/Pink Shirt Day

Wednesday, April 8th was Anti-Hate / Pink Shirt Day in the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.  Pictured above are some of the hundreds of Trenton High School students who wore pink to school to show their support.

Pink Shirt Day originated in 2007 when two students in Nova Scotia stood up to bullies who were picking on a grade 9 boy for wearing a pink shirt to school.  David Shepherd and Travis Price were in grade 12 when they started the largest anti-bullying movement in the world.  Last November, Trenton High School was lucky enough to have Travis Price speak to the student body about his experiences and how to be proactive in the fight against bullying.

THS Social Justice Committee started organizing Pink Shirt Day for the Hastings Board in 2009.  In its first year, just 80 shirts were sold, all at THS.  Now, all eight of the secondary schools, and many of the elementary schools in the board, are involved.   Approximately 3500 shirts were sold this year.  The movement has grown exponentially, with the hope that it continues to do so for years to come!

Soup's On

Thank you to the Trenton community for supporting our Soup's On fundraiser in support of the Trenton Food Bank and THS Food for Learning.  We enjoyed a choice of five delicious soups and each took home a ceramic bowl made by THS students and staff.  Spring was definitely in the air on this festive evening.  A total of $728 was raised.

Inside Ride

Join us on April 9 as Student Council fundraises to support Pediatric Cancer Care.  Students can register online in teams of six at TrentonHS.theinsideride.com.  Each team has a goal of $300.  Donations can be made online, through the main office at the school or through participants.  The ride officially begins at 11:00 and ends at noon.  Please support this worthy cause and come on out to watch the action!  Students interested in participating can speak with Ms. deMelo.
