Hello, Trailwood Community!

Happy New Year! I sincerely hope you and your families were able to enjoy your winter break. It was a wonderfully busy December, showering our amazing staff with tokens of appreciation. Thank you to room parents who put together thoughtful gifts for their classroom teachers. Thank you to all that contributed to the non-classroom gift collection. Because of your generosity, each non-classroom staff member received a $40 Amazon gift card. PTA was also able to provide the entire TW staff with McLain's gift cards in place of the traditional Winter Cookie Exchange. 

Now is the time we shift some focus towards our upcoming #TrailwoodStrong auction. Please see further in the newsletter for all information regarding our biggest fundraiser, essential in funding the many wonderful things our PTA does and is able to provide for Trailwood students and staff.

Stay safe and be well!

Go Thunderbirds!

Tracy Hugunin, PTA President
