Weekly Update

In honor of our Mother Mary

To all our volunteers and donors, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your selfless contributions. Your support has been instrumental in the growth and success of our school, and we are truly grateful for your generosity.

The work of the School Advisory Commission, Home and School Parent Association, and the Social Fest Committee, are so appreciated for all of their planning and executing activities for the school.

We have many volunteers who help in the school, helpers in the classroom, retired teachers who teach for free, people who take on various tasks, people who jump in for special activities and projects, and those who attend field trips. We have those who deliver staff treats and those who come into stuff and stamp envelopes for our mailings.

We have other groups, such as the Knights of Columbus, and the American Legion, who sponsor and support our projects.

Then, there are all of those who are financial supporters. They give to every fundraiser, donate to special projects or the scholarship fund, and attend our events to support our school. We are incredibly fortunate and deeply grateful for their generous financial support, which is greatly needed and appreciated.

Thank you to everyone from the tiniest act to the largest contribution. Holy Trinity Catholic School is lucky to have all.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

DARE TO BELIEVE: EUCHARISTIC DISCIPLES

As a culmination to our theme this year, we are planning a Eucharistic Procession after Mass on Friday, May 24th, 2024. Holy Trinity Catholic School's Student Council members are inviting you to join us for Mass at 7:45 am and a Eucharistic Procession to follow. After Mass we will have a procession around Kewaskum while praying the rosary and singing hymns.

Please gather in Father's driveway and we will get in order to process together.

In case of inclement weather, we will process inside the church and school.

See you there!

Students are learning ways to be Grateful. This goes along with our Virtues series. Check out the video attached to see what the students are learning about in class.

In Family Folders this week:

*ITBS Information (Grades 2-8)

***This is the last family folder of the year. Please return the Family Folder so it can be reused next year! Thank you!

The art show is up for viewing. Feel free to stop in at the school office to go see the display Thursday during school and after school until 3:00. Friday, the display will be up until 1:00 when it will be moved to the gathering space in church.

On Monday, Ms. Herman was our principal for the day. She treated the students and staff to an 'out of dress code' day and extra recess.

Thank you parents for supporting this at Social Fest!

For students who will be in 4th-8th grade in the 2024-2025 school year.

Earlier this year we asked for interest in band/orchestra.

The plan for the first year, 2024-2025, would be to have individual or small group lessons to begin with the basics of music reading and instrument play. We will then work on creating a band/orchestra.

There will be a parent meeting in the fall.

This is a work in progress and we are thankful for your patience as we work on ways to bring this to Holy Trinity.

Please fill out the survey attached if you are interested.

Social Fest Auction

Class Baskets:

Class projects this year will be a basket provided by each class.

We are looking for one parent from each class to help with the organizing and execution of this auction item. We will be combining Middle School (6th-8th grade) as one basket.

Tasks include:

• Decide on a theme/idea for the basket
• Ask other class parents for items to fill the basket
• Email classroom teacher so they know what is coming and how to help
• Fill the basket and return to school by July 16th, 2024

Each class basket will have a unique theme. The goal is for the entire class to help solicit the items to fill the basket. Maximum value of the basket would be $500. Please see how you can help.

We are hoping these themed baskets will be a BIG HIT in our Auction again this year...these baskets can range from a night on the town for Mom and Dad, to a family trip to Virginia Beach, and a Family Game Night basket for everyone to enjoy, plus much, much more! We are asking that all parents participate in some way to support your class basket. Parents can purchase gift cards or vouchers for the basket, or donate money that will go toward the purchase of items. Questions? Have an idea for a donation for your class basket?

Thank you to those parents that have volunteered.

The last day of school for 3K, 4K, 1st-7th grade is Wednesday, May 29th, 2024.

If your child(ren) will be going home with someone other than parents, please let the office know. You can call, email (holytrinityschool@htschool.net), or send a note with your child.
