New School Year, New Beginnings
By Samantha DePriest
This past week officially started the next chapter for each of our Lions and was filled with many opportunities for our students and families to connect. The connections made with classmates, teammates, and teachers will help form relationships that will grow for years to come. The Trinity family is growing and so are the many opportunities for our children. From extracurriculars to after school clubs, service opportunities and more. There is something for everyone at TCS.
Dr. Mark Anthony, TCS Head of School, encouraged our students and staff to dig in to Romans 12 where the Bible speaks about love in action. He shared in recent gatherings his hope for this to become our collective focus this school year, “May we focus on the kingdom of God, on unity, humility, kindness, and charity. Let us live at peace with everyone.” Being a part of the Trinity Christian School family is a blessing and our families are encouraged to make connections, build relationships, ask questions, get support, and say yes when opportunities to serve together arise. The more we connect with one another, the richer our experience becomes. We are better together.
Each August, Trinity Christian School celebrates our students and staff coming back with a back to school event called “Welcome to the ROAR”. Every year, the event starts with a New Family Session to help connect our new students and families with each other on day one. This year we were blessed with a brief shower following by an abundance of sunshine and even a few rainbows. From food trucks to inflatables, the Lions Swap to the Resources and Clubs tent, there was something for everyone last Sunday night as we officially kicked off the new school year at TCS.
FAMILY FUN

The fun doesn’t stop there. This month we will host several football games, softball games, and volleyball matches on our main campus. We invite you to come out and cheer on our Lions. It’s another great way to get plugged into the Trinity family and is lots of fun for everyone. Everyone is invited to dress up for our Friday Night Lights football games. This season there are 6 home games with different themes each night..
The easiest way to find out about the events that happen on campus is by checking our calendars on our website for dates and times of Athletics and the Arts.

SERVE TOGETHER
We are always looking for parent and grandparent volunteers. Over the years it has become evident that serving together at TCS is one of the best ways to connect. Our Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF), Lions Club Athletics Booster Club, and Annual Fund teams are always looking for happy helpers to serve alongside. Invite a friend to join you and come plug into our school community. Opportunities can be found in Inside the Pride that comes out every Sunday evening at 6pm and vary from during school hours, after school, and some weekend events in an effort to accomodate all schedules.
It’s a great time to be a TCS Lion and we couldn’t be more excited to begin week two!
