Trinity Memo 3.4.19

Students

Please check your homes for uniforms—we are still missing a number of volleyball and cross country uniforms. This would also be a great time to return the basketball uniforms.

Parents of senior students, we approach the time of year where we need senior pictures for the yearbook. The deadline to get them in is March 31. We understand if they are still being edited and you have not received them back yet, but if you haven’t taken them yet, then we would like you to take one as soon as possible. Once you have a senior picture be sure that your senior student sends it to the journalism class. This way we have enough time for the pictures to be approved, and for the journalism class to get the yearbook page done as soon as possible. Thank you! Journalism class
