You Lord are the light that keeps me safe. Psalm 27:1
A Peek At Our (April) Weeks
I don’t know how we arrived so fast, but
here we are at the end of April, nearing the
end of the school year. And, what a special
and fun school year it has been! Filled with
love, laughter, learning and adventures, it
has been our privilege to spend this time
with your children. We will soon finish our
Someone Special theme, and I cannot tell
you how much we enjoy the poster boards.
But we are not the only ones! Members of
Trinity enjoy them as well. In addition, your
children love showing and telling us about
each picture. Thank you for your hard work!
GOD MADE US SPECIAL
PETRA’s baby pictures on her poster board
were irresistible! She (and brother Silas)
were adorable. We loved her in the fuzzy
hat, playing in the snow and playing soccer.
And big sister Isabella reading to
Petra…priceless!
LIAM looked comfy on Grandpa Joe’s lap, as
did all his cousins, as Grandpa read to them.
What a precious picture! We loved seeing
Liam on his 4-wheeler, catching the BIG fish
and petting a pig. He and brother Grady are
runners! Yep, he had a picture of their race
with mommy.
FINLEE’s poster board was full of animals.
We know what Fin loves! From dog Pepper
to kitty Gill to a chicken and a frog, Fin had
several great animal pictures. He even won
first place in a frog-jumping contest! We
loved seeing his family, big brother Coy, and
a picture of Fin fishing with his dad.
REID has great karate kicks and he had a
picture to prove it! We saw pictures of
monster trucks, which were…awesome, and a
picture of Reid shooting a very BIG gun! Of
course, we loved seeing his family and big
sister Payton and little sister Reagan.
EDEN looked like a beautiful ballerina in her
dance class! We loved her awesome Barbie
house and really liked the picture of Eden
with her brother Eli dressed as angels. A
picture of Eden with her cousins was pretty
special too.
JACOB’s poster board was as tall as he is,
and filled with all the things Jacob loves.
He delighted in showing us each picture!
Some of his favorites…Scheels, where dad
works, riding the train to St. Louis, skiing
(yes skiing!) in the Ozarks. He also loves his
family, which includes mom, dad, big sister
Hannah, little sister Claire and Grandma and
Grandpa
Make sure you keep track of school
calendar dates—May is full, with lots of
fun activities!

Scrip News
Spring is here! You can use scrip cards to
help with your spring cleaning, whether it
be to purchase cleaning supplies, building
materials, yard work, gardening supplies,
or how about a meal out since you may be
too tired to cook after all that work?!
We have a scrip card to purchase just
about anything you can think of including
gas for the car or mower.
Using the
scrip program not only gets the work
done, but you are contributing to the
preschool program at Trinity, making for
a brighter spring for our little ones!
Wishing you a safe and blessed spring!
