A Special Celebration of God’s Creation
We are excited to invite our Holy Trinity families to a special Pet Blessing on Friday, October 2 at 9 am in the back field of the school, as we celebrate the beauty of God’s creation and the special place our pets hold in our families.
St. Francis of Assisi reminds us to appreciate and care for all of God’s creatures. This special blessing is an opportunity to give thanks for the joy, companionship, and unconditional love our pets bring into our lives.
Families who would like to participate are asked to sign up using the link below so we can plan for this event.
Parking: The South Lot is the preferred parking area for families attending the Pet Blessing. Staff members will be present to help direct traffic and parking when you arrive.
We look forward to sharing this special moment together as a school community and celebrating the many ways God blesses our families through His beautiful creation.

Our director, Mr. Ricciardi, has been a music educator for the last 25 years, He firmly believes that the musical arts nurture self-discipline, social skills, math and reading skills, self-concepts, talents, and creativity. These life-skills will serve as an important foundation as students take on various responsibilities in their future. (Plus, Band is FUN!).
Band takes place on Fridays. Each student will receive a 25-minute private lesson once a week during the school day, as well as participate in a 35-minute full band ensemble lesson once a week.
Band tuition is $480 due at registration or can be paid in 2 payments of $250 - one payment due at registration and the other $250 will be billed in December through FACTS incidental billing. Books are included in the price of tuition, but instrument rentals, cleaning kits, and folders are not. A music folder is required for each student.
Koss Music Center (my store), Rettig, Skyline in Westlake, Music Workshop in Strongsville, or Royalton Music Center can help you with a Rental Instrument & Accessories if you need them.
