Trinity Means Family

By Samantha DePriest

Do you remember the first time you stepped onto our Trinity campus? Do you remember learning about the first friend your child made at school? Perhaps it was a warm smile or friendly wave you received in carline. Maybe it was a conversation with another TCS parent who gave you insight on how things worked at Trinity. Perhaps it was an invite to join Trinity parents at our “Annual Trinity Boohoo/Yahoo breakfast” on the 1st day of school.. Or maybe it was an encouraging email from a teacher when you realized they understood your child perfectly that filled your heart. Whatever that moment was for you when Trinity felt like home, you came to know that Trinity means family. We believe that God has a plan for each and every child. And we are honored to be blessed with the opportunity to partner with families to help raise them up. Being a part of the Trinity family is truly a gift.

Just as in our own families, we genuinely care for, serve, and pray for one another. Our teachers and staff have been praying for each of our Lions and eagerly anticipating their arrival next month. They have been busy preparing first day of school ice breaker games and engaging lesson plans, decorating and organizing their colorful classrooms, and filling their hearts with scripture and knowledge to share with their students. Our Operations department has been tending to every last detail to keep our school operating, clean, safe, and so beautiful. Our staff has been working hard all summer to answer your questions and help this transition into a new school year be as smooth as possible for your family.

Frequently you will hear, “It is a great time to be a Lion” and that couldn’t be more true. We are welcoming many new families and staff this August, adding more exciting extracurricular activities as well as opportunities for our students to learn about God’s plan for their lives. Community is important to us at TCS and we pray for meaningful connections within our school family. Whether this is your first year or fifth year at TCS, there are many ways to connect.

Serve Together

One of the easiest ways to make new friends is through serving together. TCS PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship) shares opportunities often that can be found in the weekly newsletter, Inside the Pride, and also on the Trinity Family Facebook page. The Lions Club, our athletics booster club, is looking for volunteers to assist in various roles as well. More about these volunteer needs can also be found in Inside the Pride. If your child is involved with performing arts or athletics, there are numerous service opportunities throughout the season.

Attend Events

One thing is for sure, there is always something going on on our campus Any given night of the week, you will find cars pulling in with families ready to cheer on their kiddos. Whether a performing arts or athletics event, afterschool clubs, or a school wide event, there is something for everyone. Checking the school calendar online and the weekly newsletter, Inside the Pride, are the easiest ways to find out the latest happenings on campus. What’s more fun than making plans to attend an event and grab an ice cream cone with fellow Lions to help build meaningful and lasting friendships for your student and your family.

Share a Smile

Lastly, the easiest way to connect with others in our school community and spread joy is by sharing a smile. Yup, that’s all. Just a simple smile. Next Sunday evening we will have our first family reunion of the school year called “Welcome to the ROAR”. Our stadium will be filled with hundreds of future friends some you may have seen before and others you haven’t. Don’t let this special opportunity pass by without meeting and greeting some new faces. Lion nation is a one of a kind and you are what makes it so special. We can’t wait to see God’s kingdom come together to celebrate the start of this brand new school year. Welcome home Lions!
