MR. WHEELER’S WEEKLY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Dear Trinity Families,

As we prepare for a week of frigid temperatures, with the possibility of rain and ice on the roads, I want to encourage our community to remain both vigilant and at peace. While the weather may be harsh, our hearts can remain steady, knowing that God is our protector and our refuge. His goodness is not diminished by the cold, and His care for our families, students, and faculty never wavers.

Please be sure to closely monitor your email and text messages, as we will communicate any school delays or closures promptly to ensure everyone’s safety. Your well-being is always our priority, and we are committed to making wise and timely decisions in these conditions.

“The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life” (Psalm 121:7). Let this truth be a source of comfort and confidence as we walk through the week together.

Additionally, please mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 5th at 8:30am for our next Coffee & Donuts with the Principal and Admin Team. This quarter we are discussing “Go Week”, our school ministry mission trip designed to serve locally, regionally and internationally.  We value your partnership and look forward to hearing your heart for our school community.

Stay warm, stay safe, and stay encouraged. God is good and we trust Him to watch over Trinity in every season.

BACKPACK BUDDIES MAC N CHEESE FOOD DRIVE

Backpack Buddies is a non-profit organization in Newnan, GA created to supply economically disadvantaged children in the Coweta County School System with food for the weekend. They are in need of some specific food items - one in particular is Mac & Cheese boxes. 

The Chick-fil-A Leader Academy class at TCS has been serving at Backpack Buddies this year. To help with this need, the class is sponsoring a Mac & Cheese food drive. The drive will start on Monday, Jan. 26 and run through Wednesday morning Feb. 4th. The goal is 1,000 boxes!

Please only donate Mac & Cheese boxes - NO CUPS. They can be dropped off by the main office of the high school in Building 5. Thank you in advance for helping those in need and supporting this great organization!
