| Trinity's Alpha Omega Pin |
School
opened smoothly on Tuesday, August 20, with a total enrollment of 206. That is up for the second consecutive
year…..an indication of new families moving to Galveston who are getting the
good word about Trinity from current parents and families of graduates. Very few moms and dads decide to send their
children here based on paid advertising.
The decision to visit the school is almost always based on word of mouth
from one parent to another.
Thanks to
the Robert L. and Ann Moody Activity Center, this will be a year of many firsts. At the time of this writing, we just placed
on the schedule the first “home” volleyball game in the history of Trinity
Episcopal School! The Chargers are
scheduled to play Holy Family Catholic School at 4 PM on Monday, September 16. Entry to the building will be
from the main entrance off Tremont Street. The cost of admission will be $3 for adults,
$1 for students, and admission for current Trinity students will be free. We plan to have the snack bar open for
the game. Schedules are subject to
change, so please check the website to confirm. Go Chargers!
Early in
September, the school will recognize a group of 7 students who entered Trinity
Episcopal School in Kindergarten (or before) and have continued in school every
year since and including Eighth Grade.
In other words, by the time of graduation each of these will have been
enrolled here between 9 and 12 years! We
honor this group by designating them as the Alpha-Omega Society with a lapel
pin created for this purpose. The Rev.
Susan Kennard and I will meet these “long-timers” for lunch on the day they are honored and encourage them to reminisce about their Trinity experience. The students honored this year are Libbie Lee Ansell, Hunter Blackwell, Kelli Blackwell, Charlie Cragar, Lee Jaworski,
Gabby Prets, and Kelley Shepherd.
