WEEK AT A GLANCE

“For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” -Isaiah 9:6

LESSONS & CAROLS HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE

Thursday, December 20th from 10:30-11:30 am in the Trinity Chapel

Please plan to join us for the annual presentation of Trinity Episcopal School’s Lessons and Carols. Plan to arrive early for the best parking and seating options. This performance traditionally packs the house with standing room only. For this reason, if you plan to arrive early and save seats, someone must remain with the seats you are saving at all times. Un-manned seats are considered open even if there is a scarf or purse in the seat unless at least one person is sitting with the scarf or purse. EXCEPTION: Spring Event VIP Package Winners will have special reserved seating marked. Want to save seats without having to sit there to save them? Bid on the VIP Package at this year’s Spring Event. 🙂 Thank you for helping to make the seating opportunities as fair and equitable as possible.

BOX TOP TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Keep earning the Box Tops during the holidays! The Box Top clips are now going towards the Spring classroom competitions. Here are a couple of tips to help make submitting clipped Box Tops easier.  

• Clip your Box Tops neatly; perfect isn’t necessary, just neat.
• Ensure your Box Tops have a visible, valid expiration date and product code. 
• Put your Box Tops in a paper envelope labeled with your teacher’s name. To eliminate plastic waste we are trying to not use baggies. 
• Send your Box Tops to school monthly. We will collect them on Spirit Day, the first Friday of the month. 

Thanks for the teamwork! – Box Top Committee, Kristin O’Rourke & LaDale Rein
