A RETURN TO CHAPEL
We are very happy to be back in the sanctuary of Trinity Episcopal Church to celebrate our bi-weekly chapel services. We love continuing the tradition of having our 8th grade students partnered with our Kindergarten students. Rector Jimmy Abbott has also been a welcome addition to chapel! We look forward to bringing our students diverse ecumenical speakers from all local faith backgrounds and leaders in the local non-profit and philanthropic community. This is also an excellent opportunity for our students to showcase their public speaking skills!
