2020-2021 HTCS Annual Report

From OUR PRINCIPAL Dear Holy Trinity Catholic School Family:

Board of Directors 2020-2021 Celie Cionek, Chairperson Rev. Raymond Leonard, Pastor Tony Meli, Finance Doug McCloskey, Facilities Kristina Parella, Marketing Fred Kleczkowski, Parishioner/Knights of Columbus School Administration Karen Luzzo Principal

t is hard to believe that Holy Trinity Catholic School is wrapping up its thirteenth year of operation. At times, it feels like just yesterday that we welcomed our first 22 students, and yet here we are, over 100 students and still growing. I feel blessed to be a part of this amazing, faithfilled journey and to watch the school grow and evolve into one of the leaders of Catholic education in our area. While the future of the world seems uncertain, the hope and joy our students display on a daily basis is truly inspiring.

During the 2021-2022 school year, our plans are to continue to strengthen our position as a leader in early childhood and elementary Catholic education. Having settled into our new K3-5th grade school structure, and having navigated many obstacles, our focus is securely on early learners and building a solid foundation skills on which to build their future years of learning.

We will continue to provide rigorous academics infused with technology, and we will do all we can to make Catholic education possible for those families who want it. Of course, everything we do will be done based on Gospel values. This year’s annual fund campaign will provide the funds to make these things happen.

This booklet provides a small look at the 2019-2020 academic year.

Thank you to all those who make Holy Trinity Catholic School possible, especially during these difficult times. I pray that God bless all of you as you have blessed Mrs. Luzzo has been with us. Please know that we hold you in Holy Trinity since it opened our prayers and in our hearts each in 2009. She has taught and every day.

1st through 8th grades at Blessings, Trinity, with a focus on Language Arts and Religion.

The 2020-2021 academic year marks her fifth year as Karen E. Luzzo, B.A., M.S. Principal.
