From the Assistant Principal's Office: |
Last week, I was privileged to meet and talk with many of our wonderful grandparents. I really enjoyed spending time with them, and I know the kids did too. On Monday, we said good bye, or better yet “see you later”, to Jim Georgie, the husband of Ginger Georgie. I was again privileged to stand beside students and faculty as the funeral procession passed. I’ve known Ginger and Jim since I started at Holy Trinity. In fact, it was Mrs. Georgie that originally told me I should be wearing a coat to set a good example for the students. I have ever since. A student asked me later if I had to wear it since Mrs. Georgie retired. I responded that if it was right when Mrs. Georgie was here, it is still right when she isn’t. Our lives are full of these up and down moments. I have been very fortunate to share these moments with the Holy Trinity community.
In the next couple weeks we will have several programs to watch that students and teachers have been working on very hard. There will be many family and friends events leading up to Christmas. These are all good things as long as we remember that, as Catholics, the Christmas season starts on the twenty fifth of December. The season we are in now is Advent. As Father Mark told us at Mass, Advent is a time of anticipation, preparation, and hope. As we look forward to the greatest gift God has ever given us, His Son, I hope you and your families enjoy the Advent season.
God Bless you all,
Pat Gamber

Mrs. Conard's 1st Grade Class
First grade is a great place to be! Learning through our Catholic Faith is our primary objective in 1-C! We have lots of fun through our learning. One of the ways we meet each learner's needs is through Daily 5 in reading. Each child gets to spend time with books of their choosing and reading level. When we pass enough AR tests we get to each lunch in the classroom with our teacher and pick out of the prize box! We begin the memorizing our math facts through 1 minute time tests. We meet each child's needs in math growth with the Accelerated Math program. Advent is currently the focus of our classroom as we make Jesse Trees through watching Old Testament Bible stories on video and illustrating them. We also made Advent Wreaths with our grandparents at Grandparent's Day. Our primary goal is to get each child to heaven, and the teacher too!! I LOVE my job!!

The second graders had a wonderful presentation from Ernie Miller entitled, "Two Falling Voices." It is based on a real woman named Mary Jemison. It recounts her life with the Seneca tribe, who adopt her, and how she endures great loss and pain with courage, compassion and strength. Her name "Two Falling Voices" is a tribute to her ability to walk in two worlds.
