Community Service

At Trinity, children learn about and fulfill the formative call of God to love our neighbors and care for those in need. Throughout the year, students and staff demonstrate compassion and work to make the world a better, kinder place. Socks go the homeless who rely on walking as their main mode of transportation. Coats go those who are cold. Ice cream and brownies cheer those uncertain of what tomorrow will bring. Food Bank collections remain an ongoing effort, and the school continually comes up with innovative means of collecting food. Operation Fill the Bags to Fill Their Hearts culminated in care packages for Virginia Oncology and the CHKD Child Life Department.

Through serving others, TLS students develop a compassionate world view in which they see themselves as empowered and responsible for making a difference in the world.

Community Service Day
While service and giving occur throughout the school year, one day on the calendar stands out among the rest: Trinity’s annual Community Service Day. On this day, every class of Trinity students spends the day on a selected service project in our local community.

Students reach out into our community taking part in service based projects to foster the second tenet of our mission statement- developing the whole child.  These projects range from creating holiday packages for the less fortunate, care packages for troops stationed abroad, or pet care packages for local animal shelters.  Additionally our students may visit local hospitals or nursing homes to bring tidings of good joy or take part in a rousing board game.  Finally some student groups take on cleaning/maintenance projects at local parks or elderly church member’s homes.  No matter the activity, the goal is the same- to give back to those in need.

Required Service Hours
The middle school years are the perfect time for our future leaders to learn the value of giving back to their community.  Volunteering has many benefits such as building leadership skills, broadening skill sets, helping those in need, boosting self-confidence, and learning valuable social skills.  We ask that our middle school students volunteer 10 hours for the 2023-24 school year.
