The Kingsman Newsletter
With the end of school in sight it is not too soon to start thinking about the next school year. I have had a half dozen of new inquiries to join our school. Your assistance is needed. When looking at statistics you find out that “word of mouth” is the best advertisement you can have for a school. Our parents can share why they love Trinity and what Trinity has done for their student. Two of my recent school tours came about because a parent shared their joy about Trinity. Your help is important and can make the difference in our school. We need to keep our quality teachers and the standard of a top-notch education. Please make a conscious effort to share information about enrollment with your family, friends and neighbors. I thank-you for your partnership helping to increase our enrollment. Mrs. Terry Bird
