A Letter from Mrs. Martinez

March 2019


Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that we are into our last trimester of this year, themed, Grace, Gratitude and Joy. The theme has served to not only remind us daily of Sister Catherine’s legacy and her generous, giving spirit, but also has encouraged us to more deeply recognize and appreciate God’s handiwork unfolding daily. 

Despite the many interruptions, we experienced during the months of January and February, I am proud of the children’s diligence throughout. Academically, this trimester our students have made excellent progress, are growing spiritually, and maturing socially. Thus far, the implementation of the Daily 5 into our Language Arts curriculum has been quite successful.  It is amazing to observe the children’s growing independence in their learning, and their zest for reading that this approach has cultivated. We continue to forge ahead in the area of technology to provide growing numbers of ways for teachers and students to utilize the tools of technology.

The season of Lent offers a time for all of us to reflect and practice more intentionally daily prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It provides for us the opportunity to not just give-up something, but to give of ourselves, as well. Some of the ways readily available for Trinity families to engage in the practice of sacrifice and almsgiving during this holiest season of the Church include; participating in our Wednesday afternoon sandwich making, bringing in food items for our annual FISH collection, volunteering to help at our April 7th Bingo at St. Martin’s Home for the Aged, and Mite Box offerings. Additionally, during Lent we hold Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel before school every Friday.

Spring holds many special events and activities, some of which you will hear about from the classroom teachers and most of which are highlighted on our school calendar and in our weekly Newsy Notes, so please stay tuned into these communications.

I cannot help but feel deep gratitude for the privilege of spending each day of the week with your children. Your continued contributions and support enhance tremendously the many learning opportunities available to benefit our Trinity students, thank you. I look forward to seeing you at one of the many events in the weeks ahead.


Warmest regards,
Margie Martinez
