Aloha and Blessings to each of you!

​​

Welcome to Trinity’s 72nd year of serving the people of Hawaii! I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy & safe. 

​

As I look back on 71 years of ministry at Trinity Lutheran School, I am reminded how thankful I am for Trinity. Trinity Lutheran School has been the firm foundation in the lives of thousands of students and their families. By focusing on excellence and being centered in Christ, we remain steadfast in serving our families, while we continue to seek new and safe ways to grow and improve our programs. It is our goal to draw out and inspire the best in our students as we provide them with opportunities to create, explore, and learn.  Procedures and policies have been adapted to mirror the times w are living in, but we have seen that Trinity remains a blessing to its community. God is good, all the time, and we trust that HIS plan is for Trinity to thrive! Our theme verse for the school year, Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God!”, is a perfect theme for us this school year. We all can be sometimes overwhelmed with our circumstances, career, friendships, trials, tribulations, you name it. The truth is the devil is real and he tries so hard to distract us from God's truth. But, God's always got us! Be still in times of worry and know God is in control. We need not fear anything that comes our way; God's love for us will deliver us through anything that comes our way. This year we will lean on this verse and focus on stillness, knowing that God will carry us through each and every day. Your child will hear and know that every day they come to Trinity, they are LOVED. Where does this love come from? It comes from their caring and genuine teachers, but most importantly their father in Heaven. We are God's children and we will celebrate daily being a child of God!

  

Trinity Lutheran has so much to be thankful for! A huge mahalo goes out to all our dedicated parents and teachers of Trinity. Our fundraising efforts have been a huge success and we couldn’t do it without your support. Our Regal fundraiser and our Dining for Trinity nights have been huge successes. Our annual golf tournament raised over $10,000 to help support scholarships for our students! Our annual Fun Run raised over $25,000 and every dollar earned directly benefits our students. What a blessing to have so many wonderful people working to be able to provide amazing opportunities for our keiki!

 

Our Crusader Athletics Program remains interscholastic, competitive, and fun, providing students as young as third grade with healthy opportunities to meet the physical and mental challenges of volleyball, basketball, cross country, and track and field. Keiki fit, an after school activity class offered to our Kindergarteners - 4th graders, was so popular that we have expanded the program this year! Through parent support and grant monies we were able to resurface our basketball court and purchase new basketball hoops and a new volleyball system.

 

Not only do we offer extracurricular athletics, but Trinity Lutheran is proud to go above and beyond basic state requirements by maintaining our Physical Education (PE) program for all grade levels.

 

We are excited to offer a variety of age-appropriate resources and activities that students of all grades will be able to engage in daily. Trinity's intentional and balanced implementation of technology for the sake of enhancing the learning experience and preparing our students for their futures remains a priority. We are thrilled to offer a variety of elective classes such as: Robotics, Yearbook, Drama, Strategic Games, Debate, & Esports for our middle school, while finding new and meaningful ways to use our iPads and Chromebooks in every classroom.

 

Above all else, we are faithful to our mission of sharing the love of Jesus Christ. It is Christ’s love, as shown in our devoted faculty and staff, that sets apart Trinity Lutheran School. It is a blessing and honor to serve our ʻOhana each day.

 

If these past few years have shown us anything it is that God is in control. Our hearts and minds can be filled with anxiety and worry. Well fear not! In the midst of all this, we find that one thing never changes and that is the love our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has for us! I am certain of this! As we begin this new school year, I welcome you to our Trinity family. We will share this love of Jesus daily with each of you. And, with God's protection and provision for us, we will thrive this year in a safe, fun and most importantly, Christ-filled environment. 

 

Mahalo for taking the time to learn about Trinity Lutheran School. We hope you will join us in celebrating our 72nd year of serving the families of Oahu, with decidedly Christian, and distinctively excellent education. God bless you and keep you safe.

 

In HIS peace,

Kyle D. Klemp
