Upcoming Events

Fly On The Wall As I walked through the school the other day, I was reminded of

how many people invest their time and energy in making Holy Trini-

ty the wonderful school it is! Whether listening to Mrs. Guaragno

with a parent coming in for manna or to pay tuition, listening to

Mrs. Raudenbush reading to the children, observing volunteers

working with a small group of children, or Miss Fario’s smile at the

front counter … the children are blessed with people who care

about them at our school. Over the past few months, at least 15–

20 new people who entered our school have spoken to me about

the warm feeling of coming through the doors of Holy Trinity.

Sometimes we can all take this for granted. Sitting back for a minute

and reflecting on it reminded me of the need to continually count

our blessings for all of the wonderful people who share their time

and talents here at Holy Trinity. Thank you to those folks for your

constant support and help with making our small school with a big

heart a huge success!

We hope that everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday. As we prepare for the season of Advent , we are reminded of how blessed we are at Holy Trinity, and how thankful we all should be.

Thanksgiving Prayer

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass , so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
