Our Mission Statement
PRAYER
Mary, mother of God,
Mary mother of compassion,
we ask for your prayers.
Mother of all who are poor,
you said ‘yes’ to God’s call.
We give thanks
for the inspiration of all the women
who have answered God’s call
throughout time –
for those who are known as saints
and for those whose names are hidden
but whose work lives on.
We celebrate the example
of women who transform their own lives
and the lives of others,
by answering Christ’s call
to feed those who are hungry
and give drink to those who thirst.
Mary, mother of us all,
the urgent cries of the hungry
can still be heard today –
call us to answer,
help us to hear.
Inspire us and move us,
as we battle to bring about a better world.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus, your Son, Amen.
A Note from Mrs. Longden
We are now on the fast track to the end of the school year. Wow! It is alway incredible how quickly the school year flies by. There is so much to teach and so many things to do and the time runs out just when we are on a roll. It has been an incredible year for all at Holy Trinity! So much learning has taken place. Students have been engaged, alert, attentive, and responsive this year. We will finish out our year strong.
One project that we have been working hard on this year is our accreditation renewal. This is a two year process of looking at all areas of the school life, evaluating them, and looking deeper to set goals for the future. We are finishing up our first year of self-study. Next year will be our visit year. You will be hearing more about this as time moves into the fall. It is an excellent process to continue growing, changing, and staying on top of the important issues of our school community. This process will bring validation to the good things happening within our school and will bring challenges that we need to tackle. Each year we put our goals in front of us to help focus our direction and be purposeful and intentional in what we want to accomplish.
Blessings,
Mrs. Longden

Depending on what we get in, we would like to have the store open on our last day of school, June 1st.

$CRIP Announcement
We wanted to let you know about some changes in the Kohl's Cares Fundraising gift cards available through Raise Right/$crip.
Effective immediately, any newly purchased ecards cannot be used to make payments on your Kohl's Charge Card account balances.
School has a current inventory of Kohl's physical gift cards that can be applied to charge card balances. When these cards are gone, the new physical Kohl's cards will not work to pay your charge card balance.
You can buy physical or ecards and load them into your account to use when purchasing on-line from Kohl's. The rebate percent for Kohl's is remaining at 5% for local Kohl's.
Thank you to all our families who support $crip. If you currently are not participating in $crip and would like to save money on your tuition, here is a quick explanation. You order a gift card through RaiseRight/$crip at face value, but the retailer sells it to school at a discount. That discount is retained in an account and is split 50/50 between you and school. You only pay face value for the gift card, you do not pay anything extra. Gift cards available include gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, department stores, speciality stores, airlines, etc. If you have any questions, please call the school office and we will help you get started!
2023-2024 Volleyball
Volleyball season will be here before we know it! All HTS girls who will be in 5th-8th grade next school year are invited to a volleyball open gym session. Please encourage your daughter to come, whether she is playing for sure, or if she wants to come and check it out.
While the girls play, we will have an informational meeting about the season for the parents.
When: May 22nd from 6:30-8:00 pm. (The meeting will not take this long, but that's how long we have the gym available.)
Where: HTS Cafe and gym.
Below are the forms needed in order to participate in Wildcat Athletics.
Even though there's still time, we encourage you to complete them and bring them to the meeting, so it's one less thing to think about this summer.
