The Georgia March for Life
On Wednesday, January 22, pro-life Georgians will join in a one-mile silent march in downtown Atlanta to memorialize the tragic death of over 60,000,000 innocent babies since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court Decision.
Trinity high school students that are interested in joining together to silently pray and walk through the streets of Atlanta to remember the tens of millions of pre-born babies lost to abortion should complete/parent sign the attached permission form and return to the front office from Mrs. Ayers no later than Tuesday, January 21 at noon. Seating availability is based on a first come first serve basis with a limit of 50 students.
Students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled classes on the day of The March. They are responsible for making up all work and being prepared upon return. They will be excused from classes to leave the campus at 10:00am. The Memorial Service begins at 11:30 and the Silent March for Life begins at 12:00 pm. Students are expected to arrive back on campus by 3:00pm.
Students should either bring money to purchase lunch or bring a sack lunch.
