Student Voices ~ Sharing the Heart and Soul of TRC
We want you to share the heart and soul of TRC through the eyes of your students. Federal policy makers are determining the financial future for TRC funding and have currently eliminated EETT funds which currently funds TRC. They need to know why TRC is important to you, your students, your school, and your communities. Please share the impact TRC is making in your district in a brief statement below. Please provide links to your students' project examples online or within the Kansas TRC Web site. And if so compelled, write our Kansas Senators and Representatives. Thank you for your input!
