THANK YOU, TRINITY PTO! We want to thank our amazing PTO Executive Board, led by President Lynsey Ginsberg, for kicking off our school year with a bang! It was so nice to have a TES event in a safe, outdoor enviornment while celebrating what makes our school such a special place. We look forward to all that PTO has planned for the entire school community throughout the year!
INNAUGURAL TES PARENTS' NIGHT OUT
In two weeks, Trinity Episcopal School will host our first Parents' Night Out! This is an evening to get out with friends or make new ones, while giving back to the school we love! Our upcoming Parents' Night Out will be Thursday, September 30th from 6-8 pm. Mr. Ravelli will be supervising childcare (please use the form HERE to sign-up) in the MAC. The ladies will be having a fun time at Luna (525 22nd Street) and the men will be gathering at Texas Haberdashery (2125 Church Street). Both locations will have food, drinks, raffles, and a percentage of sales for the night will go back to Trinity Episcopal School. We plan on having these events every other month and we will support different local businesses who are willing to give back to TES each time. Stay the whole time or come & go! *As always, health and safety will be a priority at all TES events. Each event is completely optional and we encourage masking when necessary, adequate spacing, and staying home when you are sick.
TES BEGINS CHOIR PROGRAM FOR 2021-2022 We are happy to introduce to you the 2021-2022 TES Choir under the direction of Mrs. Annie Blancken. The TES Choir will be performing at Trinity Episcopal Church for Trinity School Sunday on Sunday, October 3rd.
FALL CARNIVAL COMING NEXT MONTH! It's that time of year again! Mark your calendars for Friday, October 29th for the return of Fall Carnival! TES will have an early-release day and Fall Carnival will take place from 12-3 pm. The absolute best way that you can help with Fall Carnival as a parent is by sponsoring one of the attractions. Please see the attached form for more information and look for additional upcoming communication!
