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”. Our chapel offerings will be given to the Military Services Committee. This committee provides face to face ministry to WELS military personnel serving in the United States and Europe. They also provide resources for those serving on ships or deployed somewhere else in the world. To date, we have collected $203.17 for this ministry.
Winter Weather Wear: Please make sure your student has the appropriate clothing to go outside for recess each day. As the temperatures get colder, winter coats, hats, and mittens will be needed. Snow pants and boots will be needed as soon as we have snow. Always plan for outside recess.
Winter Weather Closings: If the Lakeland School District closes for the day (or portion of a day) due to inclement weather, Trinity will also be closed. Check local TV (7, 9, 12) and radio stations, as well as Trinity’s Facebook page and website for closing information. If it seems as if a snow day could be called, please be sure to check these for verification.
