Middle School Matters

Happy Friday!


I hope that this four-day week has proven to be a good one for you and your family.  We have had a very smooth week here at Trinity, and I continue to be most pleased with some of the things our students are doing.

In particular, I would like to mention to you some comments we recently received from our maintenance staff.  Each day, we emphasize to our students the importance of picking up after themselves on campus, especially in the cafeteria after lunch.  Apparently their ability to do this well has not gone unnoticed.  Maintenance personnel recently pointed out the remarkably clean condition of Willett Hall immediately after the last of our 220 student had left the room.  They basically said that our middle schoolers are a delight because they take care of their own trash and don't leave it for the custodial staff.  They even wipe down the tables and check underneath for anything left over.

Please congratulate your children on a job well done, and continue to encourage them to take responsibility for their belongings - even their trash.  We are proud of our facilities here at Trinity and we want to make sure that they always look their best.  Your children are helping us accomplish that goal each day and, for that, we are most appreciative.


John Gonleh is Coming to Trinity


John Gonleh, the pastor of The Refuge Church here in Montgomery, has an amazing story to tell.  Taken from his home in Africa in the middle of the day, beaten, and taken to a field to be executed, John and his wife Bessie found themselves running for their lives as their country disintegrated into civil war right before their very eyes.

Rev. Gonleh tells a dynamic story of his faith in Jesus Christ in his book, Refuge, and he will be sharing his riveting story with our middle school students in a chapel service this coming Thursday, January 27, at 8:45am in the Old Gym.  Parents are invited, and copies of Refuge will be available for $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for students.  We have extended our chapel time to one hour on this day to allow Rev. Gonleh plenty of time to share his inspiring story with our students.  I hope you can be there as well!
