Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families,
We will be going on another field trip at the end of October. The Fourth and Fifth grades will be walking to the Hicksville Fire Department on the morning of October 29th to bring awareness to National Fire Prevention Month. We will be leaving Trinity following announcements, and will return before lunch. Also, there will be no school on Friday 11-1, as teachers will be attending PD.
