WE ARE THANKFUL FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY CAMPUS! 

Thank you for your continued efforts to keep our community healthy and our campus open! Thanksgiving Break is a good opportunity to give backpacks, lunch kits, water bottles, and masks an extra-thorough cleaning; use this time to double-check that masks fit comfortably and securely cover your child's mouth and nose. Please, celebrate the holiday season safely and responsibly.

On Thursday the Bishop Cilley Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society inducted their 2020-2021 officers.

TES PTO PRESENTS SAES PARENT ZOOM

Our children have many questions about their mental health in light of the pandemic and Trinity has placed a priority on Social Emotional Learning to ensure students can be successful this school year. Doctors Rob Evans and Michael Thompson will host an evening for Trinity families via ZOOM. Please join us Tuesday, December 8th from 6 to 7 PM; the link to register will be shared after the break.

 

SERVICE PROJECT

Trinity Beginning School & Lower School have adopted The Meridian Retirement Home for our Christmas service project. Due to the pandemic, the residents at The Meridian have undergone a difficult time with sadness and loneliness. Let us put some smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. See the attached flyer for needed items. You may start bringing donations after Thanksgiving break. Please have donations turned in by Wednesday, December 16th.
