Important Information

I want to thank everyone for making the time to meet with me during Parent/Teacher Conferences. I am so happy that so many of you came because I know that you all value the education that your child receives. Please know that if you have any questions or concerns, I am always here to help.

Monday is picture retake day. Please make sure you email me if your child needs his or her picture retaken.

Our Thanksgiving feast day is on Tuesday, November 25th. We will be joining the rest of the school in the gymnasium for the feast. It is a wonderful tradition at Trinity where we can all get together and thank God for all he has given us. I also want to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving.

Also, there has been a change in plans with regards to chapel. We are NOT leading chapel this week. I will let you know if the date gets rescheduled.
