Weekly Update

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference,

living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time;

taking this world as it is and not as I would have it;

trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;

so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with

You forever in the next.

Amen.

If you are a new or existing Holy Trinity School parent interested in volunteering or attending field trips in the future for Holy Trinity School, now is the time to consider doing the steps to volunteer. All volunteers are required to meet three requirements: attend a Safe Environment session, pass a criminal background check (no cost to you), and sign the Code of Ethical Standards. Due to COVID-19, all Safe Environment education training sessions are conducted virtually. For more information on Safe Environment for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee go to https://www.archmil.org/Offices/Safe-Environment.htm

Tonight, Thursday, September 30th, come cheer on our Girl's Volleyball Teams. Games are at 5:30 and 6:30. Go WildCats!

Please remember that the mornings have been a lot colder and students should have proper attire at school. See the attached document for what is worn outside depending on temperature.

Beginning the week of October 11th, students in Grades 5-8 should bring clothes to change in to for Gym Class. Please have the clothes and gym shoes in a bag with their name on it. See the Physical Education Expectations for proper clothes. If you have questions, please reach out to Ms. Wollner at wollnerc@htschool.net

As a reminder, the students sweat during Physical Education class, so packing deodorant with their change of clothes is important to consider.

As a school we will be praying the Rosary on Friday, October 15th. Please send a Rosary with your child on that day. We will have extras if they do not have one or forget.

Picture Retakes will be on Thursday, November 11th.

We are seeing a lot of colds and allergies throughout school. Please be mindful when sending students to school. If they have two or more symptoms they should not be coming to school. Remember to also CALL IN your child if they will not be at school. Phone calls to the SCHOOL OFFICE should be made instead of emails.

This week we celebrate the Feast Day for St. Wenceslaus. Wenceslaus was a prince in Bohemia and was murdered by his brother who wanted to take the throne from him when he was chosen to be king. Good King Wenceslaus is known for being kind to the poor and being loyal to God, spreading the Word of God while performing kind acts of generosity to even the poorest and crippled of his subjects.

St. Wenceslaus is a good model for our school. At Holy Trinity we continually work on various service opportunities where we can be generous and good to others who are in need. We deliberately plan activities that teach our students about the local needs, the needs of our greater society, and the needs around the world. We do collections, we do service activities, and we write letters/pictures for those who may need us.

Let us model our lives like St. Wenceslaus, being kind and good people.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden
