Trinity CC Parents Meeting

Hello,

This Thursday, the Trinity Cross Country team has a Parents Meeting planned from 5:30-6:00pm in the Media Center.

The meeting is entirely optional, but we wanted to schedule a time for parents to come and ask any questions they might have and also to go over transportation needs for meets and planning for a couple special events we have in mind for the CC team. It is not a parents-only meeting, as students are also welcome to attend.

We chose this 5:30pm meeting time to make it easier on parents that are likely to attend the 6:00pm Athetic SignUp meeting and uniform checkout.

We hope you can join us!

Thanks,
Jesse
