Mark your calendars, #GivingTuesday is November 30th. Celebrated each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Proceeds raised during #Giving Tuesday will benefit Holy Trinity's Upper and Lower School Arts programs including Fine Arts, Broadcast Journalism, Graphic Design, Music, and Theater.
This year's theme is "Bringing back the holiday cheer." We are ready to put the challenges of the past year behind us and look ahead to a new year with gratitude and hopeful optimism. We're looking forward to showcasing the work and talents of our Arts students in a fun and memorable way on #GivingTuesday, so stay tuned to our social media pages for more details.

Mrs. Gavrish's 2nd and 3rd graders were blue all over learning about the science of the “NEW BLUE”, a recent discovery by the chemist Mas Subramanian in his laboratory at Oregon State University. Crayola Crayons recently experimented with their own new shade of blue calling it "Bluetiful." Groups worked together and recorded data and tried to choose which of the many blues out of a box of 48 crayons was Crayola’s new blue. |

Upper School Seeking Donations for Thanksgiving Baskets for Deserving Area Families
Every year, the National Honor Society sponsors Holy Trinity's Thanksgiving Basket Blessing where classes collect non-perishable items from a list that will come with your basket. This year, the $5.00 family donation will be collected online through OnCampus (when students and parents log on, they will see a “new form” to fill out). We use this money to purchase the bins, turkeys or hams, fresh produce, pies and gift cards for the families that live in the Booker T. Washington neighborhood in North Melbourne. This year we are able to feed 39 families!
We would love all HT students, teachers and staff to contribute items. When you see the list, you will see basic pantry needs. Many students like to bring in more items (not listed), especially when they know there are young kids in the family, but, please, this is all voluntary! NHS purchases items to complete the basket, but the more you can collect, the less we have to purchase!
Products and donations are due on November 19th. The Upper School will hold its basket blessing ceremony on Tuesday, November 23rd. Many thanks in advance for helping us make this Thanksgiving special for deserving area families.
