“Success is never so interesting as struggle” – Willa Cather
Important Information
It’s another short November week. I want to thank everyone for making the time to meet with me during Parent/Teacher Conference Day. I am so happy that everyone 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.
Our feast day is on Wednesday. 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.
The weather is cold, so please make sure that your child has the appropriate coat for recess.
Mr. DeVries is working with the children preparing them for our Christmas show. Please help your child memorize any lines that he or she might have.
