WEEK AT A GLANCE

A SENSE OF BELONGING - ANNUAL FUND KICK-OFF!

We are excited to announce the launch of our 2018-2019 Annual Giving campaign, A Sense of Belonging!! A huge thank you to our cheerleaders for their help passing out waters on Monday. Your support in our Annual Fund campaign will impact the immediate imperatives of this school. Your gift will impact the future educational experiences the school can offer such as the implementation of new and innovative programs, ensuring the safety and security of our students and enhancing our facilities. Trinity Episcopal School does not receive financial support from local, state or federal government funds – our teachers and administration rely on your support to meet yearly operating costs.

Want to save stamps? Many of our donors set up a reoccurring monthly donation through Paypal. Use our Paypal link to donate online!.

Morning Drop-Off News:

When dropping your child off, please have your child's shoes on and breakfast finished before driving under the carport. This will greatly expedite the line.

Important: please have your child stay in your vehicle until exiting under the carport if you are in the carpool line. If you would like to have your child walk in the glass doors on Tremont, you must park your car and walk with your child to the glass doors.
