Our Mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ,

to provide a high-quality education,

and to guide children in living the Catholic faith

Heavenly Father,

I offer you the day ahead of me: all of my hopes, fears, conversations, struggles, and blessings.

Help me to make myself 100% available to you. Give me the grace to say yes to you in the big things and in the small things of the day. Open my eyes to see the needs of the people around me, the people I will come across in my family, in my work, and in every small interaction. And give me the wisdom to seek you and your dream for my life in every small moment of this day.

Amen

Lent is an amazing time of year in a Catholic school because it gives us an opportunity to teach the children about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and how His life on earth has changed our life now and for eternity. We are able to practice our faith with prayer and traditions. We are able to walk with Jesus in a very real way, of course that happens at so many different levels of understanding from our 3K all the way through our 8th grade. Our staff grows in their faith too as they guide the students. We reach out in service to our community during this special time as well with an all-school service project.

We are so thankful to each of you for being a part of our school. We need everyone. Our school operates as a small parochial school associated with a parish. We are Catholic in our mission which directs us to a very specific line of teaching. We teach Catholic morals, traditions, and practices. This make me very proud as a Catholic leader to be at the helm of instructing our Catholic faith to our littlest of learners.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

To Jesus we go, through Mary

Thank you for your continued support of Holy Trinity and for prioritizing Catholic education in your child’s life. Registration for the 2025-26 school year is underway.

Tuition alone does not cover the cost of your child’s education. In addition to your tuition, support from our parishes and monies raised by third source funding help to cover the remaining gap. Therefore, the support of your parish and various fundraisers significantly impacts the cost of tuition.

It is our belief that when you send your child to Holy Trinity you place a high value on quality Catholic education. Your investment is personal, precious, and lifegiving. May God’s blessing be with you as we work together to provide the best learning environment for your child(ren).

If you have not turned in your registration yet, please do so.

Holy Trinity School Scholarship is due April 11th.

Be sure to fill out the application and return to school

Come visit the Easter Bunny and enjoy pancakes!

Students will be attending Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent.

Feel free to join us if you would like.

Congratulations!

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recognizes March 30th–April 6th as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as child abuse prevention month, we dedicate a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe. We want people to know that we are committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through adult child abuse prevention training; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws.

This year’s theme for Safe Environment week is: Working Together Towards Recognizing Abuse to Build Safe Communities.

Attached is the Proclamation from Archbishop Jeffrey Grob.

The below links have resources/informational handouts on child abuse prevention during the month of April and Safe Environment Week.

Did You Know.....

The Safe Environment Program in the Catholic Church is not only making our parishes and schools safe places for our children, youth, and vulnerable adults. We hope that all clergy, employees, and volunteers' task themselves with protecting the young and vulnerable in their workplaces, neighborhoods, communities, and even their own homes. Our goal is greater than just safe environments within the four walls of our parishes and schools, but safer communities for all God's children to live, learn, and grow.

Did You Know....

All clergy, employees, and volunteers are instructed to contact local law enforcement of Child Protective Services immediately if they are made aware of a child being sexually abused. All bishops, priests, deacons, lay parish/school staffs, and volunteers are required to follow the mandatory reporting laws of the State of Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, all clergy and all school employees are considered mandatory reporters and can face legal penalties for failing to report suspected or known child abuse or neglect.

This year join us at Holy Trinity Catholic School to mark our support for child abuse prevention by wearing the color blue on March 31st. Wearing blue helps remind us and encourage others to prevent child abuse and support healthy children and families.

The 2025 Kewaskum School District Summer School booklet is now available online to view on our website. Scroll down to the School News section and click on Summer School 2025. Registration will open on Wednesday April 2, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. Only online registrations will be accepted.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
