Representing Trinity Episcopal School is 5th grader, Claire Garcia, who nominated Kelly Shaffner as her most influential teacher; and 8th grader, Austin Gabriel, who nominated Donna Cucco as his most influential teacher.

TRINITY TRIVIA

It’s almost summer time and lots of people will be heading to the beach! Sharks are common in Galveston’s coastal waters, but shark attacks are rare.  Can you guess how many unprovoked shark attacks have been documented off the Galveston coast from 1911-2014?

LAST WEEK: Eaton Chapel was designed by Nicholas J. Clayton in 1882.
