Trinity Catholic School Cow Plop (June 4); New Facility Proposed

Trinity Catholic School Cow Plop (June 4); New Facility Proposed

Trinity Catholic School (1306 W Montgomery) is holding its 26th annual Cow Plop fundraiser on Saturday, June 4 from 11am to 4pm.

Typically Trinity closes off a one-block portion of Cedar for this popular family-friendly event and brings in carnival-style games and activities. This year they’ll have a balloon-twisting clown, a bouncy house, games, arts and crafts, and lots more. Pizza Rita and a petting zoo will be there too.

They’ll also have over 50 cash prizes, including $3,100 in prize money for the winner of the bovine bingo. To buy bingo tickets or request more information, call (509) 327-9369. All proceeds benefit the students at Trinity.

Trinity also has some exciting news to share this year. This is from the school’s principal, Sandra Nokes:

There is a couple who is going to honor the gift of childhood and the mission of Trinity School. Funds have been designated to construct a brand new Trinity, and building plans are in the development process. The city has NOT given us FINAL APPROVAL, however, we are hopeful that they will support this monumental gift and continue to work with us to make it happen. We believe that Trinity has been and will continue to be a “beacon of hope” in the community, and for all we serve. Remember, Trinity works with families to make tuition affordable and we serve a diverse population, both non-Catholic and Catholic. A new Trinity with Educare enables us to continue to serve children and families into the future.

The school will be soliciting input and approval from community partners including the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council once the plans reach the appropriate stage.

Spring Cleanup Tomorrow (May 21)

Spring Cleanup Tomorrow (May 21)

A quick reminder that our neighborhood’s eighth annual Spring Cleanup is tomorrow (Saturday, May 21). The event is held in the lot adjacent to Faith Bible Church (600 W Cora Ave) and runs from 9am to 12:30pm.

You’ll need some form of ID to show you live within the Emerson-Garfield boundaries.

At the moment it looks like some scattered showers are forecast for tomorrow. The volunteer crew will be there no matter what, so make it worth their while and don’t let a little rain stop you from cleaning out the clutter from your yard, attic, basement, garage or storage room – all for free and without having to truck it over to the solid waste facility.

Spring Cleanup 2015-6

What can you offload? Here are some categories:

  • Clean green: Bagged grass clippings, leaves, pine needles, etc. Branches must be less than 3″ in diameter and under 6′ in length. No sod, rock, gravel or animal feces.
  • Refuse: Everyday junk. No food items, drywall, concrete or nail-embedded wood. All items must be in small, manageable pieces. No large furniture or mattresses.
  • Recycling: Any mostly metal item, such as empty water heaters, stoves, washers/dryers, lawnmowers (drained of oil) or microwaves.
  • Salvation Army: Donations of clothing and furniture. You can also e-cycle your old computers, TVs and electronic gear.

If you’d like to put Spring Cleanup in your Facebook calendar, you can RSVP to the event there.

And remember, this year the neighborhood council is organizing a separate curbside large furniture pickup for items such as sofas, easy chairs and mattresses. You can register for that tomorrow at Spring Cleanup or by calling Karl at (509) 325-3031. Pickup will take place around the third week of June. You must preregister by Saturday, June 11.

We hope to see you (plus all the refuse you want to bring) tomorrow!
