Welcome Back

I am very excited to welcome you back from what I pray was a restful and enjoyable summer break. Our God is truly an awesome God!

Changing the World – Starting With Me. That is our theme for the 2007-2008 school year. God calls us to use our unique gifts that He has blessed us with to make a difference in our world. We are called to respond to God’s love by sharing His love spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. Emboldened by the Holy Spirit, we are to seek out opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way to change the world according to God’s will. If we are to grow as Christians and make an impact in our world, then we must start with ourselves. We should start by looking into the mirror and make changes in ourselves. We will be focusing on putting our faith into action so that we might live more accordingly as redeemed children of God. We plan to study, apply, and teach how we are to “change the world---starting with us.”

I praise the Lord that our dedicated and professional teachers will be returning for another year of service. Mrs. Niemeier has announced that she will be retiring at the conclusion of the 2007 – 2008 school year. She has served Trinity faithfully for years and is looking forward to finishing her teaching career with the same dedication, excellence, and consistency that has been a hallmark of her ministry. We will be honoring her ministry throughout the school year and I am requesting volunteers to assist us with the plans. Our staff continues to seek ways to serve the Lord by providing the students with an outstanding Christ-centered education and moral compass that is so needed today.

Learning in a Christ-centered manner is what we are about. It is very important that we never stop focusing on striving for excellence in all that we do. Our goal is to provide our students with an excellent education that will prepare and nurture them to become life-long learners and more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We remain committed to providing a quality academic education that meets state guidelines and prepares our students for High School. The academic program of Trinity is strong and will continue to challenge students to use their gifts to the best of their abilities. We have seen growth according to our assessment procedures and I believe we can reach even higher. I am asking all students to focus on academics with more determination and a greater commitment to learning. Our teachers are excited about the coming year and will be working hard to motivate students to do their best.

May this year be a Christ-centered year and a year or growth and academic excellence.
