PTO UPDATE
The Trumble Park PTO will be meeting on Thursday, January 18th in the school library. Mrs. Cheryl Christiansen will be the guest speaker at the 7:00 meeting. Mrs. Christiansen will offer information about Dignity Memorial Escape School, sponsored by the Kahler-Dolce and Crosby-Burket Mortuaries. Dignity Memorial Escape School is an abduction prevention program that is presented in an entertaining and non-threatening manner. It teaches children how to differentiate between good and bad strangers, the common lures abductors use, how to "get away, right away" and how to find help when needed. In addition to teaching key concepts, presenters engage children in demonstrations featuring simple yet effective techniques for escaping dangerous situations. Hope to see you there!
