Dear Parents, Are you someone who loves tests, challenges, or difficulties? I think the majority, if not all of us would admit that we are not a fan of things that push us outside of our comfort zone or that can sometimes be painful. Furthermore, we tend to do everything we can to avoid them…

Dear Parents, Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” This past weekend, there were definitely many more than just a few that gathered in our school as a community, and God’s presence here was evident. We feasted on delicious food, shared stories and laughs, rekindled friendships…

Dear Parents, On Monday, I had the opportunity to attend the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Cenotaph in downtown Burlington. It was such a great reminder of the freedoms and privileges that we have here in Canada. Embedded in the ceremony were verses and prayers that even included the name of Jesus. While I am…

We believe that each person that walks into our building is in fact a masterpiece that…

Dear Parents, With the election season upon us, the topic of leadership (or lack thereof depending on your particular point of view) is at the forefront of many conversations. While we have the privilege to vote and the duty to pray, we can often feel like we have limited ability to influence change or even…

Dear Parents, As we enter Thanksgiving weekend, I feel that it is an important time to reflect on the various ways that God has abundantly blessed us. During our staff devotionals this Monday, we took some time to write down what we are thankful for as a staff. Our students and parent community came up…

Dear Parents, Who doesn’t like a good story? Many leading psychologists and researchers have commented on the power of narrative in our lives. They suggest that we were created and hardwired to understand the world through stories. For many of us, the first exposure we had to storytelling goes back to the Bible, and God’s…

Dear Parents, What is essential to the health of every community? I would argue that relationships are the building blocks through which everything else flows. That’s why one of our Strategic themes is that Relationships Matter. We are making it our mandate to foster meaningful connections within and beyond Trinity. In a recent video on…
