The faculty and staff of Holy Trinity School are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of love and support since the untimely passing of our kindergarten teacher, Jennifer Harvey. Our beloved Miss Harvey was not only loved by the children and parents but also she was very dear to our hearts. Although Miss Harvey’s death was very sudden, she had expressed her wishes that she would like memorial contributions to Holy Trinity School . If memorial donations exceed $5,000.00 each dollar will be matched dollar-to-dollar by an anonymous donor. Contributions may be sent to Holy Trinity School at 11 North Whittlesey Avenue , Wallingford .

Pictures of your loved ones who are actively serving in the US Military are needed for the upcoming school Spring Concert. On April 25, the students of Holy Trinity School will present their Spring Concert, featuring choral and instrumental music performance groups. In a tribute to our men and women in the Armed Services, the choral finale will feature a PowerPoint presentation of our brave men and women. Service members need not have attended HT School, but can also be a relative or close family friend whom you would like to honor in this way. The children pray for our men and women at school and at home. It would be lovely to have a face to put with a name in their young prayers. All photos should be submitted to the school by March 31. Photos can be dropped off at the main office of the school in a labeled envelope with your contact information the name of the service member and the branch in which they serve our country. We will do our best to have all photos available for pick-up return, but please, for your own piece of mind, submit a COPY of your precious photo. Thank you and may God Bless America !- Mrs. Mary Ellen Kingsland-Eckels, Music Teacher, Holy Trinity School , 11 No. Whittlesey Avenue , Wallingford , CT 06492 , ATTN: Photos of Our Heroes.
