Next week we will be dressing up to celebrate our futures. Please see the image to see the theme for each day. In addition, we will be celebrating Career Day next Thursday, November 20th. The 4th grade will be getting the chance to participate in a mock Trophy Club council meeting. They will be going through the process of what it looks like at a regular meeting and we will have students role play being council members and citizens. We will conclude the meeting with a mock vote on "Should Trophy Club require everyone riding a golf cart to have their own seat and wear a seat belt?" We are so excited for this opportunity with the Trophy Club mayor, Jeannette Tiffany.
