Greetings! As the calendar turns, the holiday season begins in earnest. For the second year in a row, Trickum is sponsoring a Giving Tree to help those less fortunate in our school community. If you can, please help us fill our tree as we look to fill the lives of those who need it most this holiday season.
This Friday is our Winter Wonderland PBIS event. Students can "purchase" tickets beginning today. Please see below for details. Please help our PTSA by
signing up to volunteer at the event.
Only 2 weeks left before the beginning of final exams. Exams are scheduled for December 14-19. Students will be on a block schedule with only two academic classes per day. Please see the school
calendar for the details on the subjects tested each day.

Our Trickum Giving Tree
Trickum Middle School will be sponsoring the Giving Tree Program for our families in need of extra assistance for holiday gifts. The Giving Tree is located in the Main Office beginning November 13, 2018. For each student identified, a tag with a clothing item or other small gift is placed on a tree for faculty, parents and community members to pick, buy and wrap. All students and families remain anonymous. The deadline for all gifts will be Friday, December 14, 2018. There are still tags on the tree and children in need of your generosity. This is always a very special time of year, as the true meaning of giving is always astonishing. We look forward to the happy faces of the students when they see that someone cares.
Please contact your grade level counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
