MR. WHEELER’S WEEKLY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Dear Trinity Families and Students,

Welcome back Trinity Family and Happy New Year! I pray your Christmas and New Year’s break was filled with rest and meaningful time with family and loved ones. It will be a blessing to see our students return with energy, smiles and renewed purpose as we begin the second semester together.

As we step into 2026, we do so with hearts intentionally set on seeking God’s counsel in all things. This year is already shaping up to be one where we pursue His goodness more deeply than ever before, where we pour into one another with great love and respect, where our faith is not just spoken, but lived out daily in our classrooms and hallways.  I invite you to join me in committing to start this new year anchored in prayer and trust in the Lord. May we be a community that seeks Him first, relies on His guidance and finishes the second semester with the same intentionality and faith with which we enter the start of 2026.

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him” (Lamentations 3:25).

Thank you for partnering with us in shaping hearts, minds, and character. I look forward to all that God has in store for our Trinity family in the months ahead.
