Welcome home Lions!!

By Samantha DePriest

The 2023-2024 school year has officially begun for our Trinity Christian School Lions!! Though heavy rain, wind, and a threat of hail put a damper on our “Welcome to the Roar” event plans on Sunday night, God sure did paint us a beautiful sunset the night before “Meet The Teacher” on Monday.

Our littlest Lions spent their first week learning all the things from how to find their hook in the hallway to hang their book bag on to how to carry their lunch tray filled with lots of colorful and healthy food to their table. They learned new Bible verses, practiced writing their letters, and made new friends. As we start this second year on our TCS GO Church campus, we celebrate the beautiful space and many resources we have been blessed with.

Our Lower Elementary students visited their classrooms and enjoyed special touches including a welcome back balloon arch and popsicles on “Meet the Teacher” day. Families enjoyed meeting their children’s teachers and assistants while visiting classrooms. Our Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) hosted a uniform and spirit wear swap in the gym for families to pick up pieces for the new school year for free.

Walking schedules, meeting teachers, receiving chrome books, and learning how to open lockers was the main focus of “Meet the Teacher” day for our middle school students and their parents. Daily assemblies were held in the gym during welcome week that helped prepare our students on how to be a middle schooler and how to cheer one another one while completing in various games and events.

Our high school students also walked their schedules, met their teachers, and received chrome books in our high school on Monday at the “Meet the Teacher” event. The recent completion of our new state of the art kitchen has brought much excitement for our students this first week back. Enhanced menus, increased variety of menu choices, and three different serving windows during two lunch periods promises to make lunch time a much anticipated time of day for our students.

Lastly, our Seniors kicked off their last first days of school at Camp Highlands tucked away in the North Georgia mountains for a special time of fellowship and fun. A Senior Retreat Brunch was hosted in our High School Multi-purpose room including seniors and their parents. A spirit filled time of worship led by Jasper Kent, Worship pastor from Crossroads Church, and Leighton Cannon, TCS Alumni, along with food and fellowship made for lasting memories. Seniors and their parents gathered together on the field for prayer before loading the buses and heading north for 3 days of team building and seeking God’s will for their lives .

We are off to a fantastic start to the school year and are filled with much anticipation for what God has in store for TCS in 2023-2024. It’s a great time to be a Lion!
