Trinity Springs MS Newsletter

We are already at the week before Thanksgiving Break!

I am so proud of the hard work that our Titan Students and Staff show every day! They are going to get to show how that hard work is paying off with our Middle of Year MAP testing. I am excited to see how our Titans have grown, and our teachers are utilizing the data they are getting from all of the assessments to keep pushing our Titans!

We will be continuing our Kindness Challange throughout November, and I hope y'all are finding ways to connect that at home.

Friday, we will be ending our week with a Student/Staff Volleyball game! This will be an event that all of our Titans will get to attend, and PTA will be selling concessions to end this week with some fun!

Speaking of PTA, our numbers are already higher than last year, but we want to keep growing! Joining PTA is an easy way to show your support for TSMS and does not require anything beyond filling out the form online and joining! If you need more information for this, or want to join and participate even more, please reach out to our AMAZIG PTA president: tsmsptapresident@gmail.com

I hope you all have a wonderful break next week and come back ready for our final push before the Winter Break!

Adventure Awaits!
