We had our first full week of school! There were many smiles in second grade. We are acclimating to our new classroom and schedule. We are creating new bonds with one another as we learn about each other. We are learning in school and outside on the playground at recess as well! We’ve had a positive beginning.
Please remember this Tuesday evening is Back to School Night at Trinity! We will begin in the church at 7pm. I look forward to meeting with you all.
