Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Did I see the posts on Facebook correctly? I saw announcements about Open House for students beginning next week. Wow! Summer vacation has really slipped away.

Enjoy these next couple of weeks with your families. Enjoy the parks, lakes, pools and indoor activities. Hopefully the storms will not hinder activities.

Be on the lookout for Back to School giveaways to help your child be prepared for school.
