NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
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.
Sunday School and Bible Class: Each Sunday following our 9:00 am worship service (10:30 am). Sunday School is for students in preschool through 4th grade. Bible Class is for 5th-8th grade, high school students, and adults. All are welcome to attend!
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 $63.61 for this ministry.
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!

Mrs. Habben - Grades 3-8 Science & STEAM
In 3-5 science we are learning about speed and energy and are preparing to make a marble roller coaster.
In 6-8 science we recently made a compost bin and we hope that it works to help us learn about how detritivores benefit our environments. Students are learning about food chains and webs and how energy flows through ecosystems. They will be creating a food web poster of an ecosystem of their choice. This may involve some at-home work so be sure to encourage completing this poster before the due date.
In STEAM this week, we will do some minute-to-win-it games that encourage team building.
Miss Schmidt - Grades K-2
