Announcements

Harvest Fest 2008:

Harvest Fest Donation Forms are available in the school office & online at the Trinity website. All forms are due June 1st!! Please call Marissa Amador if you have any questions at 255-3757. Thank You.

Instant Wine Cellar for the Harvest Fest:

Dear families,

It is that time of year when we begin to think about Harvest Fest! The Instant Wine Cellar is an important part of that fundraiser. Part of our tuition agreement includes a donation of a good bottle of wine valued at $20 or more. This donation, along with all of our other families’ wine donation, make up an “Instant Wine Cellar” to be raffled off on the day of Harvest Fest. The first step is to collect those bottles of unique and quality wines. Here is what you do:

1. Get that bottle of wine.
2. Bring it to the office or to my home. (3624 Baxter Ave.)
3. Use a donor form for the Instant Wine Cellar and attach it to the bottle with a rubber band. (found in office) Please have a dollar value for your wine. Look it up on the internet if necessary. Include that information along with your name on the donor form.
4. Donations may be left at the office or at my home.

This is the first of many reminders for the raffle. Please get your donation in early! Look for donor forms in your child’s Friday folder.

God bless,

Debbie Brumley

To all Trinity-Kolbe Families:

Deadline for re-enrollment of registration for next school year is May 31st. Penalties for late enrollment will be billed on June 15th. Please send in as soon as possible your signed following forms:

    Parent Contract w/registration payment.
    Policy Guideline page.
    Facts contract (if you chose this option)
    Credit Card contract (if you chose this option)

If you are waiting until the penalty deadline date to send in your contract packets because of financial reasons, we ask that you send in your paper work now with a note to hold registration payment until June 14. Please remember that first monthly payments for Facts or Credit Card start in July and end in April. I need time to process these contracts and get them off with 35 days prior notification to these companies.

Anyone who would like to apply for Financial Aid for the 2008-09 school year should already have picked up your aid packet and returned it to the school. If you have not done so already, please let me know and I will get a packet to you or come in and pick one up at the office. Those families that received aid this year (2007-08) still need to fill out new financial aid packets for next year (2008-09).

Thank you for your immediate response to this letter.
Sincerely,

Toni Williams
Bookkeeper

Summer Basketball:

Summer Basketball starts June 10th. All incoming high school students interested in participating, please see Coach Greene.

Parents of Graduates:

1) Graduation Practice is on Wednesday, May 28th, at noon. All graduates must meet with Miss Ristine in the chapel. Graduation Caps and gowns will be distributed on Wednesday at graduation practice. Practice is expected to last about 40 minutes.

2) The Baccalaureate Mass will be celebrated by Father Gary Sumpter on Friday, May 30th at 7:30 pm at St. Apollinaris Church. 8th and 12th grade students must be in front of St. A's by 7 p.m. SHARP to line up for the processions and to receive instructions and take pictures, etc. For both the graduation and the Mass, all graduates will wear their graduation gowns. Under the gowns, the boys should wear a shirt and tie, dress pants and dress shoes. The girls should wear a modest dress or skirt and top that will fit under a mid-calf length gown and dress shoes. Do NOT iron the gown! If the gown is wrinkled, hang it in a steamy bathroom or use the steam setting on the iron to blow steam over the gown and release the wrinkles.

3) For the Saturday graduation ceremony, graduates are to meet at 9:30 a.m. SHARP in the school chapel.

Uniform Vote:

On Thursday, May 29th from 12 -12:30 the uniform committee will be displaying the uniforms in Fellowship Hall. The board feels very strongly that there should be only one color for the sweater. We will be taking a vote on the color of sweater and will be there to field any questions you may have. To keep things as simple as possible, there will be one vote per family. Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we make these very difficult decisions.

Graduation Clean up and Set up:

The clean up and set up day for graduation is scheduled for Friday, May 30 from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. This is a great way to complete those last few service hours!
