HT Happenings Sept. 6, 2026
Great start!
Dear Holy Trinity Families,
What a wonderful week it has been! We have been so happy to welcome our preschoolers back to school this week, and it has been such a joy to see their smiling faces!
We are also excited to see our bus schedule improving each day. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to work through the beginning of the year routines. We truly appreciate it!
Happy Labor Day! We hope you enjoy the long weekend with your families. Take some time to slow down, enjoy one another, and give thanks for the many blessings God has given us.
This year, our school theme of LIVE DIFFERENT, is inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi and his call to live with kindness, humility, joy, and love.
Each month, we will have a special opportunity to put these values into action as a school community. Students will receive their T-shirts this week, and this Friday (Sept. 11) will be our first LIVE DIFFERENT Day! Students are invited to wear their T-shirts on our monthly theme days and may also choose to wear them on Monday Spirit Days throughout the year.
Our hope is that this year's theme becomes more than words on a shirt. We want our students to recognize the many small ways they can choose kindness, serve others, and make a difference in the lives of those around them.
To begin the year with an opportunity to serve, we will be collecting diapers and wipes for Birthright throughout the coming week. This is a simple but meaningful way for our students and families to care for mothers and babies in our community. We encourage each family to participate in whatever way they are able.
We are SO excited to see all of our families at Family Fun Night this Friday (Sept. 11)! It is always such a wonderful opportunity to come together as a school community, enjoy some fun, and simply spend time with one another.
Reminder to please RSVP for the event.
In honor of Patriot Day and the 25th anniversary of September 11, we encourage everyone to bring a little red, white, and blue!
As we gather, we also want to remind everyone that alcohol is strictly prohibited at all Holy Trinity Family School events and on school property. This expectation is an important part of our commitment to the safety and security of our students and families. As a school, we have a responsibility to maintain an environment where our children are safe, supervised, and protected, while also being mindful of our liability and the responsibility entrusted to us when we open our doors to our community.
Thank you for helping us make Family Fun Night a safe, joyful, and welcoming celebration for everyone!
Thank you for entrusting your children to us each day. We are so grateful for the partnership we share with our families, and we look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growing, serving, and living our faith together.
Have a blessed Labor Day weekend! LIVE DIFFERENT!
Mr. Kaufhold and Ms. Flanagan

Eagle Tots includes prayer, playtime, crafts, storytime, and a snack. Children will also receive an Eagle Tots T-shirt. Cost: $30 per child for the six-week session, including an optional school tour.
