We had a blast in October!

We truly appreciate everyone that made our Fall Festival so much fun. A huge shout out goes to Mrs. Kellie Munsch for orchestrating such a wonderful event. Also, a great big thank you to all of the volunteers that helped us have a fun and memorable day for our students.

Our teachers and staff are committed to the spiritual and academic growth of all of our children. I humbly ask that you continue to support and pray for our school. Please know that we are striving to meet the needs of a diverse community and we understand that clear communication is the foundation of our success. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Of most importance, as we move into the holiday season, we want to encourage all of our families to ensure Jesus is at the center of our thoughts, prayers, and actions. The holidays bring food drives, Adoration, Advent, Cookies with Santa, and many other opportunities for parents to get involved in our school.

We look forward to seeing you at Coastal Charm!

Peace and Blessings,

Haleigh Cuevas

Gratitude is the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful. Being able to recognize and appreciate the good things in your life can lead to increased happiness and life satisfaction. For children especially, learning how to be thankful can help in the development of interpersonal skills, including the ‘big’ one – empathy. Gratitude lends itself to expanding our worldview. When we are thankful for even the small things, we are thinking of more than just ourselves; we are thinking about how all of us have the ability to positively impact another’s life. Gratitude is powerful!​ Below are a few ways you can practice the virtue of Gratitude with your family.

• After everyone says Grace and prayers of thanksgiving at dinner, share one thing you are grateful for from the day. You could also have a themed night such as Thankful Thursdays where everyone shares what they are thankful for.
  
• Think about a time that someone has been especially kind to you and was not properly thanked. Write a short note to that person to express your thankfulness for their kindness. Think how great that will make the recipient feel!
  
• During a walk or drive, have your family members point out things they are grateful for. You can even make this into an "I Spy" game.
  
• When sibling rivalry or other conflicts arise in the family, have each person share aloud 3 things they are grateful for about the other person.
• Talk about a character from a movie or book that experiences hardships but is also grateful for things. Try to name additional things the character could be grateful for.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Week! "Let the Peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." ~Apostle Paul to the Colossians

Fundraising Updates

We have had quite the enthusiastic start to fundraising this year…THANK YOU for not only making it profitable, but also fun for the kids! Money we receive from our Fall Fundraisers help fund things like class parties, extra treats for the kids, teacher happies, and so much more. Here is a brief look at what has been brought in so far with our bigger projects:

• Domino’s Pizza Nights: $580 for August, September, and October
• Grandparents Monthly Bakesales: $1,100 roughy for August, September, and October
• Crumbl Cookie Fundraiser: Over $6,200

Coastal Charm Kickoff packets were sent home in October, and we’ll be announcing Class Contest Winners soon! Keep turning in those Silent Auction Items, Sponsorships, and Ticket Sales. We will be accepting all of those over the next 3 months, but please try to get those in as early as possible. Remember, the sooner you turn in things like Sponsorships, the sooner we can start to feature those businesses online! All tickets sales and Sponsorships can now also be purchased on the HTCS website under the Giving tab, and then Coastal Charm!

Thank you as always for all of the ways you go above and beyond to make our school so special…we couldn’t do it without you!

Chorus

Holy Trinity, Father, Spirit, Son

We come together here as one

To pray, to learn, and to grow

In the loving kindness that you know.

Come with us to work and play together

We are all a part of one big family,

In a school filled with joy, spirit, peace

Our love will grow as you can see.

Repeat Chorus

Sharing God’s love as a community

Each day we work to build a unity

Caring and loving others as we go

Just as Jesus taught us years ago.
