WOOD-TV meteorologist Terri DeBoer visited Mrs. Bodine’s class this week. She talked with them about their weather studies. Students learned about about her journey to becoming a meteorologist and what her work entails. She enjoyed answering the students’ questions.
Mrs. Bodine received a special memento from the day, a signed copy of Ms. DeBoer’s recent book, Brighter Skies Ahead.

Friends, Trinitas students, classmates…will be lending their ears! It will be election season when we return from break. Cambridge Latin students will be learning about ancient Roman politics, and the 7th and 8th graders will be preparing campaign speeches. Voting will take place on Wednesday, April 20—the day before Rome’s 2,775th birthday! While the results are never in doubt for this annual activity, it still holds plenty of surprise and excitement. And win or lose, there will be cake for all!
Some of our 5th-8th graders participated in the Calvin University Middle School Math Event on Tuesday. This multi-site competition included individual tests, small group problem-solving, and a team relay. Trinitas finished in first place at the Dutton Christian site and second place overall!
Special medals were presented for the top test scores in each grade within each school group. Our medalists were Lily T., Vency R., Jeffrey H., and Sam H.
Spring has arrived! The Uniform Closet is having a sale! To welcome the warmer weather, uniform shorts will be on sale for 50 cents. All other items will be only one dollar.
If you are planning to do some spring cleaning over break, please consider donating any gently used uniform items (no stains or holes). Items can be dropped off anytime during office hours.
Trinitas is hiring! Do you know someone who might be a good candidate for our full-time Administrative Assistant position? Please share the job posting!
Last week, we mentioned cultivating habits of stillness in order to grow the virtue of FAITH. How do our phones interfere with stillness? Some ideas to try during Lent: Pray or read scripture before turning your phone on in the morning. Don’t use your phone in the presence of others. Put it in a drawer for three hours at a time. Turn it off an hour or more before bedtime. Have a phone sabbath each week.
We are excited to be planning our annual Fine Arts Night for Friday, May 6, at 7:00 p.m. Full-time students and homeschool music class partners will sing selections chosen by our music teacher, and student artwork will be on display. In addition, students are invited to perform individual or group pieces—e.g., recitation, vocal, instrumental, dance, drama, etc. Students may also submit original art, poetry, or short stories for display. An information sheet was sent home with your student. The due date for intent forms is Wednesday, April 13 (just after Spring Break). We’re looking forward to another great Fine Arts Night!
