The annual celebration of Catholic Schools will begin on Sunday, January 26 with an Opening Mass at 9:30 am in Holy Trinity Church. The week will be filled with academic, faith-based, patriotic, and family-centered activities for our students. For an overview of the week's activities, please check out the school calendar or the Forms & Communications page on the Events & News tab of the website.

Congratulations to the students in PreK through Grade 8 who were celebrated at today's S.T.A.R.E. Luncheon. This month, students were recognized for their service to others - what a wonderful quality to possess!

Our 8th Grade DLFF Pathway Scholars were presented with stocking pins today by representatives of the Danaher-Lynch Family Foundation in appreciation for the work they did to help lead a recent service project at Holy Trinity School. The project was for The Christmas Gala’s “Stockings for Seniors” program, which delivers Christmas stockings and handmade Christmas cards to senior citizens living in nursing homes who do not have any family. Under the leadership of our DLFF Scholars, our students made more than 200 Christmas cards!

Our 8th Grade elves spent their morning delivering all the many donations that were collected for the families at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House. The students unloaded the snacks, cleaning supplies, and gift cards, and were given a tour of the Erie Avenue facility. On the way back to Holy Trinity, they stopped by McDonald's for a quick lunch. Thank you to the school community for your generosity toward this annual Advent charity collection! (More pictures can be found in the Photo Albums section on the Student Life tab.)

Our youngest students - PreK-3 to Grade 4 - ushered in Christmas week with Holy Trinity's annual Angel Pageant. The evening was filled with songs, poems, and a retelling of the birth of Jesus - a beautiful way to prepare for Christmas! Be sure to check out the photos in the Photo Albums section on the Student Life tab!

The Holy Trinity School tradition of receiving a class ornament each year continued today at our annual "Milk & Cookies Ornament Exchange" - a school favorite! Thank you to all the parents who hand-made ornaments commemorating the children's year. By time our students graduate, they will have nearly a dozen Holy Trinity ornaments!

Thank you to the students and staff who participated in our Advent fundraiser "Elves for Ecuador" by donating $1 to dress as a Christmas Elf! The money raised will support our Unbound sponsor child, Britney, who lives with her family in Ecuador. Who knew there were so very many elf accessories and outfits out there?!

As is tradition at Holy Trinity School, students and faculty gathered prior to First Friday Mass to participate in Monsignor Eckert's blessing of the Advent Wreath, as we begin this season of preparing for the birth of Jesus. Following Mass, students recounted the story of Jesus' family tree and hung symbolic ornaments on the Jesse Tree, which will stand in the school lobby for the remainder of Advent.

It was a week of gifting at Holy Trinity School, thanks to the dedicated parents, grandparents, and other special family members who acted as elves in Santa's Secret Shop! All of our students had the opportunity to pick out surprise gifts for their loved ones - including pets! - and enjoy edible Christmas treats, as the school library was transformed into Santa's workshop. Santa even made a guest appearance to hear all the children's Christmas wishes - what a special week for all!

Congratulations to Seventh Grade student Jasmine Toner, who was named the winner of the 2020 SE Pennsylvania Teen Filmmakers Showcase Logo Contest! Jasmine's design was judged by over 70 contest officials from a pool of logos submitted by junior high and high school students from the five-county area. The logo will be used to promote this summer's film festival, which will be held in Chester County.

Thank you to everyone who supported Holy Trinity's annual Barnes & Noble Book Fair, which is always a hugely successful fundraiser for our school! From Mrs. Raudenbush and Miss Traub, to our Library Ambassadors, to our guest-reader teachers, to the school choir and Mrs. Merk, to the parents, grandparents, retired faculty members, and Advisory Council members who came to Barnes & Noble, please know how much your efforts are appreciated!

Congratulations to the students in PreK3 through Grade 8 and our school secretary, Mrs. Marie Guaragno, who were recognized for exhibiting the trait of responsibility at today's S.T.A.R.E. Student of the Month Luncheon.

As is tradition at Holy Trinity School, the student body attended Mass to remember, honor, and thank our country's veterans. Students served as lectors, cantors, petition readers, and Third Grade recited a patriotic poem.

Congratulations to our Grade 7 students who were Confirmed by Bishop Senior in a beautiful sacramental celebration. After many months of preparation, these students are now full members of the Catholic faith community. Thank you to their parents, sponsors, and teachers for supporting them throughout the preparation process.

Thank you to all the families who did not let the wet weather dampen their Halloween spirits and came out to distribute goodies to our little Trick or Treaters! A huge thank you to all families who could not be there but still sent in candy for our Trick or Trunk event - we could not have done it without your support!

Congratulations to the winners of our Halloween Family Trick or Treat Bag Contest, and thank you to all families who participated - what creative and talented families we have here at Holy Trinity! The Blackshear, Covert, and Horan families were this year's winners! For more pictures, check out the album on the Student Life tab of the website.

As part of the school’s annual All Saints Day celebration, Holy Trinity School students from Grade 1 processed in full costume and explained to the congregation how they are similar to the saint they had chosen to portray. This took place during Monsignor Eckert's All Saints Day prayer service for the student body. Saints Sarah, Lawrence, Nicholas, Cecilia, Demetrius, Frances Cabrini, and Francis of Assisi were among the saints represented.

This morning, Grade 7, along with Mr. McCusker, Miss Traub, and Mrs. Lorraine Tucker of our school's Advisory Council, visited members of Sunrise Senior Living in Yardley. Students and their new friends asked each other questions in order to get to know one another better. After that, everyone engaged in a pumpkin-painting activity. A great time was had by all!

Congratulations to the students in PreK3 through Grade 8 and our Grade 4 teacher, Miss Fichter, who were recognized for their kind acts at today's S.T.A.R.E. Student of the Month Luncheon.

To the pleasure of students and staff alike, our long-awaited, much-anticipated, innovative S.T.E.A.M. Room was unveiled today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and blessing by Monsignor Eckert. Excitement among the students has been building for weeks, as the room has been under wraps with “Under Construction” signs the only things visible to them. The room includes state-of-the-art seating to accommodate students from PreKindergarten through Grade 8, a Robotics table with dedicated coding/programming devices, Makerspace components, iPads and Chromebooks, and Science tools and equipment for all grade levels. Additionally, the S.T.E.A.M. Room will serve as the school’s Music space, so instruments, keyboards, and sound equipment also have their own area. Thank you to our S.T.E.A.M. Room teachers - Mrs. Merk, Mrs. Smith, and Miss Traub - for all their hard work setting-up and organizing the room. Holy Trinity’s S.T.E.A.M. Room was made possible through generous parishioner contributions, memorial donations, MANNA program proceeds, Home and School Association funding, and the support of the entire school community.
