Gathering of the Harvest

Oct. 29 – Nov. 2 to benefit the Salvation Army Food Pantry

As we approach the holiday season, we have a wonderful opportunity to teach our children that it is more blessed to give than to receive.  Out of a thankful heart for the many blessings we receive from the Father, we can (and are commanded to) give to those who are less fortunate than we.

Each year, Trinity Christian Academy collects food to help support the Salvation Army of Lexington’s Food Pantry. The Salvation Army has a long history of providing assistance to anyone in need.  Here in Lexington, in addition to the Food Pantry they also offer a homeless shelter for women and children, counseling, an Early Learning Center, and other services.  

Trinity will be gathering food from Monday, Oct. 29 through Friday, Nov. 2. Every Lower School family will be designated as a Pilgrim or an Indian. We always have a lot of fun competing against one another to see which group wins by bringing in the most items. All donated items need to be clearly marked with a “P” for Pilgrim and an “I” for Indian so that they can be counted correctly and assigned to the right team.

Pilgrims and Indians List

Below you will find a list of food items needed. To get us off to the right start, all food items brought in on Monday will count DOUBLE points! Let’s give generously with cheerful hearts and to the glory of our Lord!

Most Needed Items:

Canned meats (tuna, chicken, Spam, etc.)Peanut ButterBeans (dried or canned)SoupCanned fruitCanned vegetablesMacaroni & Cheese, and other “Helper” type mixesPastaSpaghetti Sauce

*For food safety reasons, opened or expired items cannot be accepted.*

Please mark all items with your team designation (‘P’ for Pilgrim, ‘I’ for Indian). If you are unsure of your assigned team, refer to the Monday Memo.

Don’t forget that donations brought in Monday, 10/29 count for DOUBLE POINTS!

Trinity Receives Commissioner’s Cup!

Trinity Wins Commissioner’s Cup for 2017-18 Athletics

If you followed Trinity’s athletic teams last year, you know we had an outstanding year in so many areas. The National Athletic Association of Private Schools (NAAPS) took notice, and the organization has awarded Trinity the Commissioner’s Cup in our division for the 2017-18 athletic year! The Commissioner’s Cup recognizes overall excellence in private school athletics and is considered the most prestigious award an athletic program can win.

We will celebrate with an award presentation at the Lower School at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 5, during our Fall Festival, part of our Homecoming week activities.

At the end of the athletic calendar, each NAAPS member will have their top two scores from both male and female sports calculated. One school from each classification, with the highest total points from all four sports, will be awarded the Commissioner’s Cup for that school year. 

Point totals are earned when a private school is ranked in the final national rankings of any NAAPS sanctioned sport, national championship, All-Americans, All-Region, and state award winners.

In this workshop, students will be introduced to and trained on the Autodesk Inventor software in order to create and print three-dimensional objects. They will learn to create two-dimensional sketches on a work plane and to use the additive/subtractive methods of extrude, revolve, sweep, and loft to create three-dimensional objects from those two-dimensional sketches.

Students will also learn mirroring and patterning techniques to replicate geometric designs in two and three dimensions. If time permits, they will learn how to create assemblies by applying constraints to individually created part files. Through this workshop, students will gain a broader understanding of how mathematics, engineering, and art converge. At the end of the week, each student may print one of their 3D designs to take home as a souvenir.

Special Upper School Chapel

On March 14, 2018, Trinity’s Upper School Chapel service dealt with school violence in our nation and allowed students, parents, and faculty to mourn with the victims. Those in attendance also divided into 17 groups to pray specifically for each victim in the recent shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Robert Cunningham, senior pastor at Tates Creek Presbyterian Church, spoke about how Christians are called to handle cultural issues like this and how we can frame the conversation with our children, families, and others in the community.  

View the Chapel service video here.

Learning to Serve: Sarah Kinnicutt

Learning to Serve: Sarah Kinnicutt
by Vicki White

Sarah Kinnicutt, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Fred Kinnicutt, is a 2010 graduate of Trinity. Sarah graduated from the Honors Program at Western Kentucky University. She majored in French and obtained a minor in non-profit administration and English as a second language. In school, Sarah excelled academically and will always possess the love for learning. When speaking to Sarah, it is evident her greatest love is her Lord Jesus Christ.

I have fond memories of Sarah working as my assistant on the Lower School plays. I would share with her what we needed for the drama, and she would accomplish every task successfully. Her organizational skills and ability to multi-task are second to none! I still miss my Sarah!

After graduating from WKU in 2014, Sarah worked with Lexington’s Sister Cities Program. She lived in Deauville, France, from September 2014 to July 2015. She taught English to children in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade in one of the city’s elementary schools. Sarah also assisted the school in lunch duty, after school care, and tutoring. She loved being able to use and practice her French.

Sarah moved back to Bowling Green, KY, in 2015 and served as an intern in the Methodist church she attended while in college. She worked with the Methodist campus ministry at WKU and at The Foundry, a non-profit organization for high-risk families. Sarah knew she had a heart for serving others, and she knew the Lord was calling her to missions.

In 2017, Sarah applied to a Christian organization, SCORE, and was accepted into its International Gap Year program. She was assigned to work in the Dominican Republic from August 2017 to May 2018. Sarah is now working at the Lily House, a home for women who have left human trafficking. This three-year program teaches the women to live on their own, work independently, and pay rent and household bills. In addition, the women are taught various work skills, such as jewelry making, computer skills, housekeeping, baking, etc. Sarah’s position is to teach women how to bake food items which can be sold in the marketplace for income. Even though Sarah derives much joy from teaching these women life skills, her greatest joy is sharing the love of Jesus with them through Bible study and discipleship.

Sarah spoke highly of her years at Trinity and was very prepared for all aspects of college and life beyond school. She said writing thesis papers, public speaking, and Mr. Beatty’s Bible classes equipped her academically and spiritually.

Sarah plans to move back to Lexington in May after spending a year in the Dominican Republic. When asked what’s next, Sarah smiled and said she would like to lead and direct short-term mission trips. In preparing people for these trips, Sarah would like to teach about the culture of the country before the missionaries are sent out to serve.   

God in His sovereignty has a perfect plan for my sweet Sarah! He has gifted her and equipped her to serve His people with a joyful heart, a heart that is totally committed to her Lord and Savior.
