Holy Trinity Interparochial School 2011 Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
February 2015
Dear Parents,
Our celebration of Catholic education during Catholic Schools Week was a beautiful demonstration of the educational community that makes HTIS so special. Thank you for the many, many volunteer hours, your flexibility with the snow and schedule changes, the many acts of appreciation for the staff and for sharing your family with us last Friday and every day. The children truly learned through your example how important Catholic education is to their family. It was a week of faith filled and fun activities that spoke volumes about the HTIS family.
Wednesday, February 18, 2015 is Ash Wednesday and we will participate in the OLL parish service that morning. Please join us. At HTIS Mountainside Campus we strive to teach the children the greatest story of our faith in an age appropriate way. We teach the children that God loves us so much that he gave us His Son to live and die among us. Lent and Easter can be a difficult story to understand but it is at the core of our faith, so we focus on God’s love for us and how we can make sacrifices also. Being kind, demonstrating our love for our family, community service are some of the behaviors that we encourage during Lent. Please be open to the questions that your children may pose during the Lenten and Easter season and answer them honestly with the love and faith in your heart.
Leslie M. Lewis
