Wow! Last week was so much fun! We had spirit
week for the upper school with superheroes, crazy
hair, crazy socks and accessories. Our students and
our faculty certainly showed their “crazy” side!
It seems the fall weather has finally arrived and we
even got some rain! Saturday, we were blessed to
welcome home many of our alumni and their families,
to honor our seniors, and to have a victory over
Milken in our football game. I am overwhelmed with
gratitude to our God for all the people He continues
to bring to Trinity (and bring BACK to Trinity).
Seeing our alumni blesses my soul!
As always, there is a lot going on here on campus,
so make sure you read your email so you are up to
date on the many things happening this month, from
Corporate Time, to focus groups, to speaker night
and Fall Fun Day. As we head in to the holidays, and
life gets busier, school is no exception. We have a lot
to do before Thanksgiving break, so buckle up, hang
on, and let’s enjoy the ride together!
In His Service, Liz Caddow
Head of School
Focus Group Assignments
For Trinity’s Strategic Plan
During the week of November 17-20, Chuck Evans will conduct
focus group interviews with various segments of our community. The
invitations to these interviews will be specific - anyone within the
groups identified are welcome to participate. We want the full
involvement and investment of the Trinity family; in fact, we are
hoping for 100% participation from our families/community.
This initial stage of the planning process will result in a written
assessment of what makes Trinity most valuable to our friends and
families, helping to define the strengths on which the next stages will
be based. Participants will also have an opportunity to share their
own aspirations for Trinity's future and to see those thoughts reflected
in the planning process. Look for an email this week with a schedule
of your assigned meeting times.
Order Your
Christmas Tree!
These are BEAUTIFUL trees
and wreaths, delivered fresh to
our campus. Everyone who gets them says they are
the BEST they’ve ever bought. By ordering, you are
supporting the Junior class as they are fundraising
for their senior trip to Europe.
Juniors will be taking orders for these trees on
speaker nights as well as at Parent-Teacher

order, and don’t know a Junior, please email

have a Junior contact you for your order. Mission Statement
