As we move into November, and the start of Block 2, enjoy this reflection "November" from Kierra Bluefort '22. Kierra constructed this poem in the Creative Writing elective course taught by Mrs. Buckley.
November
not the first chill to run down your spine
not the title or even my best line
something gone, something coming
with every leaf off solemn trees
every tranquilizing moment we seem to neglect to seize
in the way you give thought to a song in your head
the way we carve headstones to remember our dead
the calm in my heart as I count down from ten
November, how lovely to see you again

Lockdown Drill Friday
The safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority at Trinity High School. In order to maintain a safe environment, it is necessary that we practice our emergency and crisis response plans by having drills designed to rehearse our procedures. This year, we have already practiced two Fire Drills with the River Forest Fire Department and we will be conducting a Lockdown Drill this week with the River Forest Police Department. The school-wide drill will be from 9:23 am - 10:08 am on Friday, November 12, 2021. Click here to read more.

Thanksgiving Food Drive
Trinity High School will be collecting items for the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive from Monday, November 8 to Wednesday, November 17. This year our community partner, Marillac St. Vincent, has asked us to collect items for bakery bags. Around the holidays, many families receive what you normally would imagine from a food pantry - a turkey, sides, and bread - but they often don’t get the supplies needed to bake a special dessert. What we collect will meet this need and give families the opportunity to bake that delicious pie or the family’s favorite dessert for the holidays!
Students should work with their homeroom to know what item(s) to bring. At this time, we are only collecting items for bakery bags. One bakery bag includes:
1 bag of all-purpose flour
1 bag of sugar
1 carton of baking soda
1 can of baking powder
1 container of table salt
1 bag/box of cornmeal
1 bottle of vanilla extract
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
