As we approach the end of yet another school year, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your help and support this year. We have had another very busy and successful year in school. This year has been full of learning, laughter, amazing activities, challenges, and growth.
This is an exciting time of the year as we look forward to several end of the year programs, our yearly Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten moving up ceremonies and Grade 8 commencement programs.
I would like to say well done to all of our students. They have worked very hard throughout the year. They have tried to do their best at all times and have impressed teachers and parents alike with their efforts and achievements.
Thank you to our parents and families for your support to the school over the year. We are blessed with a caring and supportive community that enables us to realize the educational goals we have for your children. We really appreciate such a positive partnership between home and school.
Thank you to our wonderful teachers for the stimulating programs you have presented to our children and for the individual care you have taken with each child in your class.
Thank you to the staff members who are moving. We wish every one of you the very best as you begin a new journey in life and truly appreciate your dedicated years of service.
Thank you also to our school board for all your efforts over the year. Your positive guidance and support ensure that our school gets better and stronger each year.
Our prayers are with the parents and children leaving us. We have loved having each and every one of you at Trinity Lutheran School.
Finally, I would also like to congratulate all of our graduates and wish them the best of luck in the future. We hope everyone has a restful and revitalizing summer vacation.
In His Service,
Mrs. Denise Simone
Principal
GIVING BACK ASSEMBLY last Friday was a wonderful way for our students to share what their class has done for their chosen charity throughout the school year. The assembly demonstrated to students what a difference can be made by each and everyone of them by their efforts to help those less fortunate. This lesson is well learned by our students and all who assist them in their pursuits.
THE CARNIVAL IS COMING! This Thursday, June 12, through Sunday, June 15, Trinity Church will be hosting a Family Carnival in the municipal lot adjacent to the school. There will be rides, food, games and entertainment. Individual ride tickets and wrist band unlimited ride tickets are both available. Kindly inquire at the school office or church office about tickets.
