A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOr
Happy New Year! We have so many exciting things in store, and I’m so glad we are all part of the Trinity family! From plays, to concerts, to trips and festivals - this is sure to be a continuation of the growth we’ve all been experiencing in Performing Arts at Trinity.
We will continue with our articles like we have been posting all year, the next one will be posted in next week’s newsletter. There are so many benefits to the Arts and your students’ development. They benefit as a musician, as a student, as a maturing young adult, and as a child of God - all from being involved actively in the Arts.
Lord, grant us an incredible new year, filled with your Presence and your perfect will! We can’t wait to see what YOU have in store for us in 2023 and beyond.
