Congratulations to the Holy Trinity School students and PREP students who were part of the 2018 Confirmation Class! May the Holy Spirit continue to watch over and guide you always.

What better way to learn about one of our nation's great states than to build a float celebrating all things representative of that state!? That is exactly what our 4th and 5th Grade students did to demonstrate what they learned in their Social Studies unit on the 50 states. The costumed students processed through a parade route populated by their families, fellow HTS students, school staff and administration who waved American flags and cheered for their favorite floats. After the parade, the students individually presented their state facts to a panel of judges. What a terrific learning experience for our students thanks to their Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Pirraglia!

For the first time ever, Holy Trinity School is entering the annual Peddler's Village Gingerbread House Competition and Display! Under the guidance of PreK-A Aide Miss Samantha Glitz, our 6th Grade students worked together on the gingerbread design: a recreation of Holy Trinity School decorated for Christmas! The Gingerbread entries will be on exhibit in the Village Gazebo during shopping hours from November 16 through January 5, 2019. Admission is free. If you are strolling through Peddler's Village this holiday season, please be sure to stop by and vote for our entry!

As is tradition at Holy Trinity School, our Grade 3 students honored our country's veterans at November's First Friday Mass.

Congratulations to our first ever HTS Family Pumpkin Decorating Contest winners! First Place went to the Getty Family and their Frozen-themed pumpkin; Second Place went to the Mack Family and their unicorn pumpkin; and Third Place went to the Parks family and their pumpkin painted to look like their HTS student, Ariella. Thank you to ALL participating families - what incredible talent there is here at Holy Trinity School! Happy Halloween!

As they do each year, students in First Grade treated the student body to a "Parade of Saints' in honor of the November 1st feast of All Saints' Day. After researching and reading about their favorite saint, students dressed as the saint and presented to the congregation reasons why they are like that saint. The celebration is always a treat for all!

Our students have had a busy and fun fall enjoying all of the afterschool clubs and The Zone, made possible by the Morrisville School District 21st Century Community Learning Center grant and Holy Trinity School! Sculpty Clay, Pottery, Zumba, Snack Chef, Service Club, Field Hockey, CoderZ, Robotics - there is truly something for everyone!

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th Grade girls who participated in this year's Villa Joseph Marie High School Sciathlon. Our girls were strong competitors who represented our school well! Thank you to faculty moderators Mrs. Susan Smith and Ms. Kirsten Kuchera for accompanying the students.

Our PreK-B students concluded their unit on apples as they learned how to make (and eat!) apple muffins. The students recently visited an orchard where they learned how to pick apples. They also learned all about how harvested apples get from an orchard to the store for their families to buy. What a tasty way to wrap-up their first month of learning at our Children's Cottage!

As is tradition at Holy Trinity, Monsignor Eckert welcomed our students' pets during our annual Blessing of the Animals in honor of the upcoming feast of St. Francis of Assisi. We were visited by beloved furry, fuzzy, feathered, scaly, and shelled friends of all shapes and sizes!

Thanks to the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant and volunteer and Holy Trinity parishioner Arta Szathmary, Grade 5 girls are learning the language of computer science - coding! This four-week afterschool club is being taught by Mrs. Szathmary, who is a professor at both Villanova University and Bucks County Community College. Mrs. Szathmary advocates the "Girls Who Code" movement to promote interest in STEM education and careers for girls of all ages.

Mr. Chris Seifert, a favorite friend of Holy Trinity School, returned today for this year's Junior High Leadership kickoff event! The curriculum for students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 will be enhanced by the incorporation of key leadership skill lessons and activities based on a program developed by Mr. Seifert, a renowned motivational speaker and educator.

Our student body, faculty, and staff voted today for our STARE Leadership Team's President and Vice President today. Congratulations to all four candidates for stepping-up to the challenge of volunteering for the opportunity to be a leader of our school!

Congratulations to our Giant Food Stores "Giant of the Future" poster contest winners, Collin Haney (Grade 3), Allie Gehrens (Grade 4), and Logan Pusey (Grade 5)!

Holy Trinity students worked together with teachers, parents, and students from Villanova University to clean up the school grounds for our annual Day of Service. We thank all who participated for their hard work to help beautify our school, and extend special thanks to Advisory Council members, Mrs. Eileen Coyne and Mrs. Hanna Tracy, for providing lunch for our workers and to Fifth Grade homeroom teacher, Mrs. Susan Smith, for organizing this annual event!

As has become tradition, Holy Trinity School celebrated national "First Day" - the day when all of our students are first together for the new school year! With PreK and Kindergarten attending for their first day of school, our First Day celebration was held on Friday, September 7. The theme for the day was "Under the Sea: Let's Dive Into a New Year of Learning at Holy Trinity School!" We began the day with mass, after which all of our new students and faculty members were given a special welcome. Our students enjoyed treats provided by our Home and School Association, and, thanks to a generous grant from the Connelly Foundation, a performance by the Soul Steps dance troupe. While the school day ended at noon, the fun continued at our Home and School Association's evening Food Truck "Friend-zy" event, with vendors from several area eateries. Games, music and face-painting were featured as well as the very popular faculty dunk tank! Thank you to all who made the day and evening a very memorable "First Day" for all!

Welcome to Holy Trinity School to all of our new families and welcome back to our returning families! Thank you so much for choosing Holy Trinity!

Before school let out for Summer Break, we challenged our students to submit pictures of themselves enjoying their teachers' summer reading picks - what an awesome album of photos we have been compiling! View the album here!

Congratulations to the Holy Trinity School Class of 2018! Our 17 graduates were awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships and grants for various high schools! The Graduation Mass and awards presentation was followed by a Hollywood-themed celebration dinner in the school's multi-purpose room. We wish our graduates the best of luck as they move on to this next part of their journey!

We congratulate our 2018 Kindergarten graduates and wish them well as they head out for the summer! Miss A. and Mrs. Donahue will miss you, but Mrs. Perry is awaiting you with open arms!
