The 1818

January 18th, 2022

Welcome to the 1818.

Holy Trinity has been my home for 9 years. My parents were married at the church and my siblings and I were baptized there as well. So, during my last year here I have decided to give back to the school that has given me so much. I hope you enjoy reading these articles and learning more about our school, current events, and more!

–Clare R (8th) 8(((

This month enjoy reading about Spelling Bee winners, the ecosystem, the climate crisis and your role in it, current events, the House System, and a debate about the House System.

Spotlight Corner

How much do we really know about the heroes hidden behind their mask? The Spotlight Corner interviews teachers and students, learning more about their roots, defining life experiences, and more!

This month, the Spotlight Corner interview our Spelling Bee Winner.

Environment Corner

Reuse, reduce, recycle. The 1818 is online for many reasons, one primarily being to save paper. Our journalists look into the current happenings of the environment and let our HTS community know what we can do to help.

This month, the Environment Corner wrote about the Ecosystem, and the Climate Crisis and what you can do about it.

Current Events Corner

To be able to know what is currently going on in the world and how it affects our community and the Catholic Church is a skill, and you are able to do so through the articles that the Current Events Corner provides.

This month read about some of the strongest tornadoes in the Midwest and the destruction they have caused.

House Corner

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. House Romero, House Day, House Xavier, House Juana, House Arrupe, and House Becraft are the houses of our HTS Neighborhood! Stay up to date.

This month the Calendar Corner wrote about the monthly updates, a summary of House Xavier Day, and a word from House Becrafts House Head, Chase R, about the upcoming House Becraft Day!

Op-Ed Corner

Contrasting opinions help us to learn and grow as we look at everything from different perspectives. The Op-Ed Corner looks at different topics each month with two different opposing opinions.

This month, Olivia (7th) interviewed two 7th graders that looked at the Pro’s and Con’s of the House System.

St. Joseph’s Day 2021

Ms. Tansey

This year, as a school community, we celebrated St. Joseph’s day in a big way! Many Holy Trinity families shared their own personal traditions and celebrations for the day. We also had a school wide altar for St. Joseph in the upper school lobby and collected bread to donate to Martha’s table. Classes each celebrated in their own special way and Fr. Gillespie spoke to some classes about the holiday. Finally, teachers from each grade awarded a “St. Joseph’s Award” to a student who displays courage, faith, fairness, compassion and humility. It was a great opportunity for us to come together as a school, learn more about St. Joseph, experience traditions from around the world, and celebrate classmates who inspire us all!

Below you will find pictures of our celebrations, along with a presentation about St. Joseph’s day, put together by Ms. Moore.

Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Lenten Service

Ms. Tansey

Last month, Holy Trinity staff, students, and families celebrated Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday, pandemic style. On Tuesday, students made masks and learned about the celebrations of Mardi Gras and Carnival. On Wednesday, students and staff on campus watched a prayer service and received ashes sprinkled on their heads, rather than pressed on their foreheads. Students who learn virtually were also invited, with their families, to a drive through distribution of ashes. Everyone was very thankful for the ways that the Holy Trinity community has found to celebrate and honor our faith, in a safe way.

The second grade also kicked off their annual school wide Lenten Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl collection. They have reminded us that even in a time of our own need, there is always an opportunity to serve others. Our donations will help to create sustainable food and income sources, like home gardens and chicken coops, for families around the world.
