Trix Academy
June 20, 2020
From the Desk of the Principal
Since the beginning of the year, our scholars were challenged academically. Teachers held high expectations to ensure scholars were engaged in the learning process on a daily basis and our scholars accepted the challenge. During the pandemic, once again many of our scholars rose to the challenge. Many of our scholars either continued learning through the learning packets, summer bridge books and/or E-Learning. This was possible because of the dedication of Trix Academy staff and our families. Together we were able to make the best of the most difficult situation.
I want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone! Together, we will always accomplish more and our children will always reap the benefits.
Sincerely,
Detra Coleman, Ed.S.
