A Message from the Principal
Dear TCS Family,
✈️ Trinity Travels & Tales - Sharing Family Moments from Summer Break
We’re excited to launch a special summer feature called Trinity Travels & Tales — a chance to spotlight our Trinity families as you explore, rest and make memories together. Whether you’re jet-setting across the globe, road-tripping to grandma’s, or soaking up sweet time at home, we want to hear from you!
📸 Send me your favorite photos and a short story about your summer so far and we’ll feature submissions in upcoming editions of Inside the Pride throughout July. You can send it to james.wheeler@tcslions.org
To kick things off, I’ll go first!
This summer, LT and I had the opportunity to travel overseas and celebrate the amazing year God has blessed us with. We started in Barcelona, Spain, where we explored the vibrant streets, saw the incredible Sagrada Família (the largest church in Barcelona), and enjoyed a breathtaking flamenco show that beautifully reflected the rich cultural history of Spain.
From there, we joined several wonderful married couples on a sailing trip along the Adriatic Sea, stopping at stunning Croatian islands like Trogir, Hvar, Primošten, and more. It was an unforgettable experience of fellowship, rest, and quality time with my beautiful wife.
Now it's your turn! Let’s celebrate all the ways our families are growing, laughing, and living life to the fullest this summer.
CLASS SHIRTS
It is time to order class shirts for the 2025-2026 school year. Our school colors will be represented by each grade. Seniors - Black, Juniors - White, Sophomores - Purple, and Freshmen - Grey. With all the pep rallies that Mr. Wheeler would like for us to have next year, it would be beneficial for each student to purchase one as they will be asked to wear their grades color the day of pep rallies. For all the students who purchase a shirt, we would love for them to wear their class shirt the first day of school to show off the grade they are in.
Student Council members made designs for their grades to vote on. You will find the winning shirt for each grade in the link below.
Shirts can be picked up at the school on Orientation Day. If you have a conflict with this day email student.council@tcslions.org. While you can order shirts all year, the deadline to have them ready for Orientation Day is July 20th.
