THANK YOU! - Last week, we requested help with the purchase of an AED (Automated External Defibulator) for the school. This device is able to treat ventricular fibrillation which is a common cause of cardiac arrest and all the teachers have been trained in the use of this device as part of their CPR and First Aid Training. We are pleased to announce that one AED device was donated by the McIntyre family (Hudson is in the PK2 class). It will be placed in the school lobby, a central location for all three buildings, so it can be quickly and easily accessed if needed. We take this opportunity to thank the McIntyre family for this donation and their concern for the safety and well-being of everyone here at Trinity!

HELP! If you know where the school might be able to purchase buildings that can be used as classrooms, please call the school office. Applications for enrollment for the school and early childhood center have increased dramatically over the past few years and we are looking for reasonably priced ways to add more classroom space. Thanks.
