In the teacher back-to-school meetings this August, the faculty took time to examine the statements that help define who we are as a Lutheran School and what we recognize as our core values. The following Mission, Vision, and Values statements were adopted by the teachers. The Mission of TLS: Knowing Jesus Through Education The Vision of TLS: Responding to the grace of God in Jesus Christ, we partner with families in the nurture and education of their children for service to Christ on earth and for eternity.

3 News From Trinity Ministries Family Life Ministry Hi! My name is Shannon Ritter and I work through Trinity Lutheran Church in Family Life Ministry. I like to bring encouragement and resources each week through the school newsletter along with a prayer. I am also available for questions or offering resources that may assist you in your parenting journey. My office hours are Tuesday and Wednesday from 8-3:30 pm. You are invited to contact me: sritter@trinitykalispell.org or For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all. Ephesians 4:4-6 I pray over the course of the school year these will become very familiar verses in your personal families but also as a Trinity family. It has been great to see so many new faces of children and parents coming and going through the school doors each day. If you have been around Trinity awhile you know the blessing of being a part of the Trinity family. There is a great blessing in partnering with the Trinity teachers, who deeply care for your children, beyond academics. They are blessed with the opportunity to share the love of Christ and model it daily in their classrooms. Please pray for your child s teachers and know your teachers are praying for you, too. We pray for open communication and unity between parents, teachers, and students. I used to tell my classroom families at home visits, I won t believe everything your child says about you, if you won t believe everything they say about me. Keep in mind if you have questions, please talk with your child s teacher. Dear Heavenly Father, We pray for unity in Jesus name this school year. We thank you for the devoted families returning to Trinity school this year and we give you thanks and praise for expanding our Trinity family with many new students this year. Thank you for your protection over Trinity school and our families traveling to and from school each day. Strengthen our teachers to bring you honor and glory as they teach this year.
