Trinity Preschool Celebrates 17 Pre-K Graduates with Ceremony and Ice Cream Social

1 week ago

"Today’s Word from Deacon Amy… Trinity Preschool’s 2026 Pre-Kindergarten class of 17 students graduated last week! With parents, grandparents, siblings and extended family watching, they all walked across the stage and received their certificates. We were told what each child wants to be when they grow up. There are future astronauts, fire fighters, princesses and scientists among them. One shared that she wants to be a mama when she grows up. Before they officially graduated, they sang some wonderful songs for us! Karl led them in classics such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, as well as one of my favorites Like a Rock, a newer song called I Am Brave, and several others. They were, of course, fantastic! After the delightful ceremony, our wonderful preschool teachers hosted an ice cream sundae bar for kids and grownups alike. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit with families. The space was filled with laughter and joyful conversations. It has been such a joy to watch these children, and their families, grow. Many of them have been at Trinity for three years – starting when they were just 2 years old. Many also have siblings who have attended Trinity – as well as some younger siblings who will be here soon! Our amazing preschool teachers love these kids, laugh with them, and teach them how to be their best selves (along with their colors, shapes, letters, and numbers). They model empathy and compassion, share incredibly creative lessons, and share the love of Jesus. I am so thankful for them! Thank you, also, to Mr. Karl who makes weekly visits to preschool to sing – and even dance – with the students. We are eternally grateful for the families that bring their kids to Trinity Preschool. This was our 40th year of school, and we’ve already started waiting lists for next year’s classes. This is all possible because of this amazing congregation that continues to support our students, teachers, and families every year. We are blessed to be a blessing! Deacon Amy    "
