What's New After The Bell:
Trinity's Exciting Club Lineup
By Samantha DePriest
Trinity Christian School is excited to announce a variety of after-school clubs designed to inspire and engage lower elementary, upper elementary, and middle school students beyond the classroom. These programs are designed to provide students with enriching opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, or build friendships outside the classroom. Whether it’s sharpening strategy on the chessboard, hitting the track for a run, or stepping into the spotlight on stage, each club offers a unique space for students to grow and thrive. New clubs are still being announced for this school year, stay tuned for more information in Inside the Pride.
ACADEMIC BOWL TEAM
Would your middle school student like to compete against other school teams in the areas of math, geography, spelling, essay-writing, and history? We are looking to form teams to compete at the following upcoming competitions:
Oct 9 (Date Change) = Academic Day
Jan 16 = Quiz Bowl
Students will practice during regular school hours (lunch, elective and/or dismissal) to avoid conflict with after school sports as much as possible.
Cost - $100 per student covers registration costs and a TCS team polo.
