Dear Father in heaven, open our hearts to see what is good in our lives. May the light in our hearts shine clearly so that we see, recognize, and live in accordance with what comes from eternity and belongs to our true nature, brought to us through Christ. Keep us from being blinded and deafened by experiences that will pass by. Help us to rise above them even in suffering and to wait patiently for what is becoming new and perfect. Praise to your name that we too can say, "The old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"

Amen.

Holy Trinity Catholic School is destined for amazing things throughout the 2024-2025

school year. The gifts and talents of our students combined with the dedication and

passion of our teachers allows us to strive for excellence. Excellence in our faith and

academics is what you will see throughout the school year. We continue to work

hard to ensure that Holy Trinity Catholic School is recognized as a system that sets their

students and teachers up for high achievement. We will make every effort to assist your child spiritually, academically, and socially throughout the year. It is our goal to create an enriching learning environment that engages every child uniquely.

Holy Trinity Catholic School is a great place to be! We are a school with strong family relationships, which are essential to high academic achievement. We encourage and want our parents and community members to be involved in and supportive of the education of our learners. Throughout the school year there will be opportunities to be involved in the children's education. We look forward to your support throughout the school year!

We thank you for choosing Holy Trinity to provide your child with a loving, safe, engaging and fun educational experience. We thank you for your continued support, and look forward to working with you and your child in the coming year!

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

Father Patrick has picked a theme for this year for our school:

To Jesus we go, through Mary

During our staff retreat, Father Patrick shared the theme with us and ways we can grow closer to Mary. Mary helps us to know Jesus in a deeper way. Our goal is to continue to deepen our relationship with Jesus, with the help of Mary. We want to follow Mary's example and be close to Jesus during the events in our life.

As a reminder, if someone other than you is picking up your child from school, please let your child's teacher and the office know. Also, please be sure that person has an ID with them to show an adult outside at pick-up.

Consider being a part of our Home and School organization this year!

But, what is Home & School?

In a nutshell, the mission of Home & School is to develop and foster collaboration between faculty, families, and the Parish community in order to enrich our student’s education and faith development. We plan to hold three meetings throughout the year (September, January and April) that will provide an opportunity for discussing our goals for the year and the future, volunteering for events, and getting to know fellow parents! Be on the lookout for information regarding these meetings via email and on our Facebook Family page.

On that note, please consider attending our first meeting of the year on Monday, September 16th from 5:00-6:00pm at Holy Trinity School! We will be introducing new leadership, discussing our upcoming events, presenting volunteer opportunities, and voting on allocation of funds. There will be light refreshments. We hope to meet you there!

Home and School's first event of the year is Friday, September 13th. This will be our Kindergarten Round-up. If you have a child in 3K-5K please mark this date on your calendar!

Picture Retake Day is scheduled for Oct 10th. If your child has not had a picture taken already, it will be taken then. Ordering information will be given out at the time of pictures.

If a picture was already taken, but a retake is needed, please let your teacher know so your child can be sent for pictures. Please return the original picture package to the photographer at the time of pictures. The same package will be ordered with the new image. New packages will not be received unless the original package is returned.

Please contact Customer Service with any questions 262-780-2901 or customerservice@schoolandsportpics.com
