A Letter From Mrs. Martinez

December 5, 2018

Dear Parents,

Happy December!

It is hard to believe that we are already into our second trimester! It seems that holding conferences prior to report card distribution was effective and that delivery of our first electronic report cards proved successful. Each day our administrators, faculty and staff come to school with the expectation of meeting high standards for learning, as well as offering equal attention to the individual needs of our students. I am proud of the accomplishments of our students and am grateful for the support you offer to assist with their success.

Our year’s spiritual theme of Grace, Gratitude and Joy remind us daily of the gifts that are our Trinity heritage. It is difficult to walk down our halls or around our campus and not feel the spirit of Sister Catherine guiding us each day, and see the work of the Holy Spirit in action.

We have several delightful, festive events to look forward to during these next few weeks; Secret Santa, the Kindergarten and First Grade Christmas Pageant, Second Grade’s Santa Lucia /Juan Diego celebration and our yearly Christmas concert, which will feature Third and Fourth Grade performances as well as our Middle School Concert Choir, Ensemble Bell Choir and the School Band. Please feel welcome to join us for any or all of these events; dates are listed on the website, our school calendar, and in our weekly Newsy Notes.

This Friday, December 7th, we will celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (a December 8th Feast Day) at a 2:00 Liturgy. This feast day celebrates that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was conceived with God’s special grace, free from original sin. We welcome you to join us in the auditorium for this Mass.

Our primary classes are involved with making and sending Christmas cards to our military Airmen. The personalized messages and drawings they have created are precious, and are sure to add smiles and encouragement to those far from home during the holidays.

As the hustle and bustle of preparing for Christmas overtakes, it is easy to be caught up in the many “to dos”, but it’s important to keep in mind the reason for the season and to take time to savor its simple joys. While we move through the season of Advent and prepare to celebrate Christmas, let us remember the many gifts we enjoy each day and reflect on our countless blessings from God.

I pray that you and your loved ones are blessed with the gifts of love, faith, and joy at Christmas and in the New Year to come.

Warmest regards,

Margie Martinez
Primary School Head
