TRINITY TIMES

November  2023

We will prepare our students to be responsible members of the Christian community, strong in faith and equipped with the knowledge and skill to live as powerful, forgiven witnesses of Christ and His love.     

Trinity’s Pee Wee Basketball Players: 

The Trinity Pee Wee Basketball Team won second place in our Little Eight Conference!  Congratulations on a great season!

Principal’s Message:

 Our Defenders Softball Team won Regionals and went on to take 3rd place in the State Competition. Congratulations ladies! The 3rd – 5th grade Pee Wee Basketball team had a really great season and finished 2nd in their Little Eight Conference. Congratulations! Now it’s time for Defenders Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball. Girls’ games are played at Hoyleton, and the Boys’ games will be played at St. Mary’s. 

We are well into the 2nd quarter of the school year already!  We met with the parents at parent/teacher conferences and held the Fazoli’s Dinner. We held our monthly SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Eagle Assembly, showcasing our Pee Wee Basketball Team and the 3rd grade students. Our skill for the month was learning about how to be an Active Listener.  We were blessed with special chapels presented by both Pastor Jennings and Christ Our Rock students during October. We also had a visit from our Local Police Department who talked with students about how to keep safe if an active intruder were to show up. In addition to all of these student activities, the School Board, Staff, and I are beginning to work on our National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA ) review process.  There is a lot of preparation to be completed before our visit in April by our Accreditation Review Team. 

In our chapel messages each week, we will continue to study Ephesians 6:10-11. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

The third piece of the armor of God discussed in Ephesians are shoes. Paul tells us to stand firm with our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. It may seem strange to include shoes as part of our armor, but imagine going to battle without shoes. Every step would be painful, and if you are unable to stand on your feet, you are unable to fight the battle. So, how do shoes fit into the gospel of peace? We must understand what the gospel of peace is. The word “gospel” means “good news.” The good news is that Christ died for our sins and we are saved, receiving eternal life in Him. This brings us peace. Our calling as Christians is to share the good news of Christ with others. We are equipped and Called to Serve the King!   

All students are welcome and encouraged to join us for Sunday School after the service each week.  Adults are invited to join our Adult Bible Class as well.  Sunday School classes  meet at the school following the Sunday morning service (Service begins at 8:30 am).   

May God Bless you and your family richly this month,

Mrs. Boester

Lutheran Braille Workers produce approximately 150,000 volumes a year. Braille, Specialized Large Print, and Audio publications are available free of charge through the dedication of thousands of volunteers in over 115 Ministry Production Centers throughout the United States. Our closest center is located at St. John’s Lutheran Church in New Minden.  We raised $296 for the Braille Mission.

Lunch & Milk:

We have been blessed with donations to cover all student lunches for the following date: November 16.  This will be our Thanksgiving Meal. All students may eat free of charge for this day!  If you want to sponsor lunch for a special day, contact Miss Deb.  Thanks!  

Please check your child’s classroom Friday note for your current lunch and milk balance. 

Lunch cards are available in quantities of 10 or 20 lunches.  Each lunch is $2.90.  Extra Milk is available also in the same quantities.  Cost for Extra Milk is $0.35 each.  Please check your classroom Friday note for current balances.  

The September Menu was sent home Thursday. 

STEM Club:  STEM Club will provide students with opportunities to learn, grow, think, adapt, and participate in hands-on activities that have a focus in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  All K-8 students are invited to participate.  The next monthly meeting is November 9, from 3:15 to 4:15.  Please be sure to send in your registration form that was sent out earlier so we can plan accordingly.    The STEM Club meets monthly on the following dates: Nov 9, Dec 14, Jan 11, Feb 8, Mar 21, and May 2.  

Health and Well-being Guidelines: 

We have had our first reported Covid case among our students.  Please make sure to monitor symptoms and follow up with any concerns with your family doctor/pediatrician.  We are taking extra measures to ensure student safety with cleaning and sanitizing in the classrooms and the rest of the building. 

If you or your child(ren) have ANY symptoms of illness such as fever, diarrhea, sore throat, persistent cough, nausea or vomiting , please remain at home and contact your doctor/pediatrician. Please call the school for guidance as necessary.  As always, students must be fever free without medication for 24 hours prior to returning to school.  Also, students must not have thrown up within the past 24 hours. Face coverings are recommended but not required while at school.  

If your child has food allergies, in order to serve his/her needs, we are required to have a doctor’s note identifying the allergy, the symptoms to be aware of if an allergic reaction occurs, what to do if this allergic reaction does occur, and what the food may be replaced with on the lunch tray. 

With the changes in season, it is time to take a look at fall Clothing.  Children have grown a lot since summer started and much of this year’s summer clothing is ready to be passed along or packed away. I have included part of the Dress Code approved by the School Board for your convenience. The full Dress Code is in the Parent/Student Handbook you were given at registration and is available online as well. Please make note of the following guidelines as you plan for your child’s attire.  

Do you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own, you were bought at a price.  Therefore, honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Dress appropriately and practice habits of personal cleanliness.  We encourage parents to govern their child's clothing, making sure that it is within these guidelines.  Exercising modesty, not wearing clothing to draw undue attention to oneself, as Christians, is expected also as students attend evening or weekend school sponsored events as well. Students who are inappropriately dressed will be sent home to change.   (See the Sports Handbook for guidelines for team uniforms.)

Dressing neatly and respectfully shows respect for yourself and others.  Trinity wishes its students to be appropriately groomed and dressed, representing the school at all times.  The responsibility for proper dress and good grooming rests with the individual and his/her parents.  Students should strive to present a positive image that is not distracting in a Christian educational setting.

Shorts are acceptable at specified times of the school year and may be worn until Oct. 31 and after March 1.  Shorts, skirts, and dresses should extend below the fingertips when standing with arms straight at the side.  Spandex, or other tight-fitting shorts are not appropriate school wear and should not be worn to school.

Trinity Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, gender, disability, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, disability, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-sponsored programs. 

Need some emotional support or help?  Safe2Help Illinois is available to help! 

Anyone in distress – or anyone trying to help someone who is – can now call a simple three-digit number, 988, to speak with a trained counselor. Studies have shown that even a brief 10- to 15-minute conversation can result in a caller feeling less suicidal, less depressed, and less overwhelmed. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s existing 1-800-273-8255 number still works, but the service has received an update and will now be able to address more mental health concerns, as well as suicide crises. 

Students seeking emotional support can also text HOME to 741741, the Crisis Text Line, to reach a trained volunteer counselor.

Safe2Help Illinois also has 24/7 help 

available via a hotline (844-4-SAFEIL), a text line (72332), and email (HELP@Safe2HelpIL.com) -- plus a website full of resources for young people seeking help for themselves or a friend. Safe2Help Illinois provides a confidential way for students to share safety concerns. Its Ways To Get Help page is a directory of specialized hotlines, and other sections of its website provide practical steps for dealing with depression or helping a distraught friend. The checklist called 20 Questions To Ask Yourself If You Feel Like Giving Up can help a teenager overcome a bout of anxiety or depression.  

These three main resources should now be listed on all student ID cards for grades 6-12 and public colleges and universities. This requirement is the result of a new law proposed by a group of Naperville students who formed a mental health awareness organization called Beyond Charity. Their legislation was passed unanimously by the Illinois General Assembly and enacted by Governor JB Pritzker. We've provided the following suggested language for school ID cards to comply with the new law: 

• Dial 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 

• Text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line 

• Contact Safe2Help Illinois: Dial 844-4-SAFEIL, Text SAFE2 (72332), email HELP@Safe2HelpIL.com 

   We held our first monthly SEL Assembly where the Baseball and Softball Athletes were honored along with the spotlight on our 7th Grade.  

                                                                                                      We learned about Goal Setting. 

Principal’s Message:

In our chapel messages each week, we will continue to study Ephesians 6:10-11. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

You may be familiar with this passage in Ephesians where Paul calls us to put on the armor of God. There is so much to be learned when we take a closer look and study it. How can we put on the armor of God in today’s world? This passage can be applied to our lives in the same way it was during the time it was written, even though we may not be familiar with putting on armor for battle like a Roman soldier.

The Armor of God represents the defense we must take in our spiritual lives. As Christians, it is important for us to understand the importance of this battle against Satan and his evil ways.  This battle is often something we cannot physically see, so it is easy to lose sight of the impact it can have. However, it can be very dangerous when we forget to equip ourselves with the Armor of God and allow the enemy to take control in our lives. We must be alert and ready. 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”  God equips us for this battle.  The 7th and 8th grade students presented chapel this week and talked about the armor and how God prepares us.

All students are welcome and encouraged to join us for Sunday School after the service each week.  Adults are invited to join our Adult Bible Class as well.  Sunday School classes  meet at the school following the Sunday morning service (Service begins at 8:30 am).   

May God Bless you and your family richly this month,
