General Information: Celebrations

Celebrations

Trinity recognizes that rituals and celebrations contribute to the health of a community. The most meaningful celebrations in our year aren’t always attached to the more traditional party days (e.g., Halloween and Valentine’s Day). While we may mark such days in a small way, we choose to protect and value our instructional time with your children. Our goal in all of our celebrations – classroom and school-wide – is to promote connection, teach responsible stewardship and communicate joy!

 

We love birthdays. In K-5, we ask that you celebrate by reading your child’s favorite book to the class and then donating it to the classroom library. The basket of birthday books builds as the year goes by and is enjoyed by all over and over again. That joy lasts much longer than a cupcake! Please join us in honoring instructional time and the normal daily rhythms of the class. If planning a birthday celebration outside of school, we ask that invitations and conversations related to those plans remain outside unless the whole class is invited. Thank you for helping us teach the subtle arts of tact and consideration for others. 

 

In all we do, Trinity aims to sustain a school environment that is inviting and inclusive. We ask that you join us in honoring that commitment.
