It is hard to believe but I have written 44 articles in the Trinity Newspaper this year, and I have only 13 more weeks left in 2024 to enlighten you.
Several events occurred this weekend, but I was not able to attend them prior to other obligations. Funny how life has a way of interfering with your plans.
This week will be fast, furious, and fun for our teachers and students, as it is Homecoming Week. From Monday through Friday the festivities abound. Each day brings a different theme. Dress the following, but still adhering to the TISD dress code rules: favorite decade, barbecue dad or soccer mom, favorite teacher, coach, or office staff, rhyming words with other students, and wear your Tiger colors on Friday.
I don’t know if there was or will be a bonfire or not, because of the burn ban that is in effect in Trinity County.
• On Thursday, there is a grand opening ceremony for The Cottages at River Pointe from 4-6 p.m., located at 1410 S. Robb Street in Trinity.
