Family Day Family Day is a tradition we hold dear to our hearts at Trinity.

We begin the day celebrating with friends and family at the Trinity Episcopal Church, beginning with the beautiful service that includes memorable songs performed by our 2-year-olds through upper school choir members. Afterward, we all make our way up to our beautiful campus which is decked out with fall decorations for our very own Fall Fest! This year’s fest included lunch, games, and even a haunted house, followed by an early release to enjoy family time.

Thanksgiving The magic of the Canned Food Drive hasn’t faded after all these years. From the smallest scholars in the 2-year-old class to our indomitable Trinity Titans, every member of the Trinity family is excited to contribute to the Canned Food Drive.

Mrs. Tovah Robertson, senior government sponsor, declares, “We are a small school, but do mighty work to feed the community through this tradition of service!” This year, our Titans raised 7,346 cans with an additional $3933 to support over 1,500 families in the Longview community, which led to Trinity being, once again, the single largest donor of the food drive this year. None can challenge the Trinity Spirit!

La Posada La Posada is a long standing tradition at Trinity School of Texas. It is an event performed by the early childhood and lower school students to spread the joy and spirit of Christmas for the families of Trinity and has lasted many years at Trinity.

The word “La Posada” comes from “Las Posados,” a tradition from Mexico which performs the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.

The students at Trinity perform the procession of Mary and Joseph and performs songs in the Trinity Episcopal Church.

La Posada is one of Trinity’s many traditions that makes the school so unique.

On December 8, 2023, Trinity students from sixth to eighth grade gathered in the Hollandsworth Commons for the annual celebration: The Middle School Winter Formal. With dancing, food, a photo booth, and their own DJ, they celebrated the coming holiday and festivities of Christmas. With cheer and sparkle, the students skirted across the dance floor and dressed in varying shades of red, green, silver, and gold.

By the end of the dance, the students had yet another night to remember.
