Church Attendance: Every week, church attendance will be taken in kindergarten through 8th grade. Its intent is to encourage an active worship life in our school families. Please make weekly worship the highlight of your week.

Midweek Chapel: Each Wednesday (8:15 am) throughout the school year, Trinity conducts a midweek chapel service. We encourage and invite all of our preschool and K-8 parents and families to join the students for this 15-20 minute service each week. This year’s chapels will center around the theme “Connected to Christ”.
Lost and Found: If your student misplaces an item during the school year, be sure to check the lost and found shelf outside the office.
School Absences: If your student will not be in school on a given day due to illness, please either call the school office to leave a message or contact your student’s teacher directly. Only parents can excuse an absence; siblings cannot. A Notice of Absence sheet (available in the school office or online) needs to be filled out when an absence is preplanned. It should be returned to your student’s teacher prior to the absence. Thanks for your cooperation!
Cross Country: Practices have been going great and are being conducted during recess on Wednesdays and Fridays. A packet of information for our meet at Sunnyvale Park in Wausau on Saturday, September 21st was sent home last week. Please fill out the registration page and that portion back to Mr. Habben as soon as possible. Please contact Mr. Habben if you have any questions.
Volleyball: Volleyball is in full swing! Our students played in a triangular in Wausau last week. Even though they lost, all games were very close. There is an update to our previous schedule! We have our first home game this Tuesday, September 10 at 4:30 pm. We will play the Northern Lights Homeschool Club. We will have another game against them on Tuesday, October 8.

In 3-5 science we are learning about forces and motion and are preparing to make a marble roller coaster. In 6-8 science, we have a quiz Monday 9/9 on lesson 1. In 6-8 science we will be making a compost bin soon. We will need a small plastic bin, a tray to go under the small bin, newspaper, dead leaves, and grass clippings. If you have any of these materials please bring them to school. Once our compost bin is made, if you have any food scraps such as coffee grounds, tea bags/leaves, fruit and veggie scraps, egg shells, or cereal/bread send them with your child to school to feed the worms.
In STEAM this last week we learned about programming and following directions. We also did an apple print craft. This week, we will continue to look at programming and creating an online game.
