It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of one of our precious Arp Elementary students. Khloe Trimble, who just completed third grade, was a bright light on our campus, known for her love of reading, and the way she lit up the room with her smile and a twinkle in her eye.
Arp ISD extends its deepest condolences to her father Patrick, her mother Alishia, her sister Paisley, and the rest of her family and friends. We ask that you please keep their family in your thoughts, and pray for them during this incredibly difficult time.
Counselors are available at Arp Elementary this week from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to support any student, or staff member who needs someone to talk to. We also have a space set up for students, and staff who would like to create or drop off cards for the family.
If you so kindly wish to assist the family with funeral expenses, medical bills, and other immediate needs, a GoFundMe page http://bit.ly/45w89of has been set up to take your much appreciated donations.
Our Tiger family grieves together, and we will wrap one another in love as we remember a life that brought so much light.
Visitation is scheduled for Friday May 30 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Tyler Memorial Funeral Home - Cemetery and Mausoleum located at 12053 State Hwy. 64 West in Tyler.
A celebration of life will be held at the same location at 11:00 a.m. Saturday May 31, followed by a graveside service at noon.
Thank you very much for your kindness, and support,

Over their Arp High School fishing careers, Bryce & Will have earned $12,735 in scholarship 💰.

All students that improved on their MAP testing since the middle of the school year got to enjoy a growth foam party Friday.
What was even better is that the folks from The ETX Party People were super impressed with how well behaved our students are, plus the great job they did following directions, and enjoying themselves safely. They also told our principal that our school has, "Hands down the best teacher participation & attitudes of any school they have visited." And they visit tons of schools all over the area.👏👏👏
