CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ALPHA & OMEGA STUDENTS

These students above have attended Trinity from Kindergarten all the way to 8th grade and many of them have been at Trinity since Beginning School! We are so happy to have them and their families with us from the beginning to the end. A special thank you to Rachel Brown for organizing the Alpha & Omega ceremony.

WE ARE THANKFUL FOR ROSENBERG LIBRARY

Mrs. Healy's 2nd grade students recently traveled to Rosenberg Library for their weekly visit. We are grateful that all of our Trinity students have access to this amazing community resource. For all Rosenberg Library events, check out their calendar here!

CALLING ALL CHESS CLUB STUDENTS!

Coach Johnson is returning to our campus for a 5-week Chess course after-school from 3-4 on Tuesdays. This is a great course for both beginners and experienced players, alike. There will be a tournament to conclude the course. Rules, maneuvers, and strategies to be taught. Regardless of your child’s level of play they will learn and have fun at the same time. Children are encouraged to attend even if hesitant to try out a game that young and old can enjoy. (All grades K-8 are invited.) Cost is $12/session. Parents will be billed by TES at conclusion of course. The first meeting will be on 9/19 and will meet for 5 consecutive Tuesdays (9/19-10/17). Students should be picked up at the MAC entrance at 4 pm. If students are not picked up at 4 pm, they will check into Extended Day for an additional fee. FOCUS FOR THIS SESSION OF CHESS MASTERS IS END OF GAME MANEUVERS.
