Make time for continued spiritual growth:

Worship regularly. The office has a copy of The Lutheran Annual which lists LCMS churches where you may be vacationing. Remember, worship is something we do with others.
Pray with your family: mealtimes, mornings, bed time
Have time daily for Bible Study or Devotions
Continue Catechetical lessons.
Enroll children in a Vacation Bible School program.

Make time for fun and relaxation:

Enjoy your summer vacation whether it is an extended one, or day trips here and there.
Go to local places of interest. There are plenty in the Chicago area.
Consider a family game night, story night, or movie night each week.
Do yard work or other home activities together.

Not going on vacation?

Take a "virtual trip" with your child using the internet.

Make time for continued learning:

Use activity books available at book stores or local teachers' stores.
Visit the Library. All public libraries have summer reading programs. You will also find a "wealth of information" to help identify other family learning, relaxation and recreation ideas.
Read books of interest with your children.
Continue to drill math facts, spelling words, ...
Visit museums or other learning centers in the Chicago area.
Maintain a daily journal of learning activities and personal reflection.

Remember, learning never stops. Children learn from all the differing activities in which they are involved whether they are monitored or not. Summer provides an opportunity for learning to take place in alternative settings. Enjoy the experiences you have with your children and provide wholesome activities for learning to happen!

Why attend a Lutheran School?

Look at our order of Holy Baptism (LW, 199-204). An awesome responsibility is assumed by parents, sponsors and our congregation when each child is baptized. God's highest priority is raising children "in the nurture and admonition of the LORD." Trinity school exists to "establish a partnership with parents to educate children in, with and under the Grace of God." We help parents equip children for their future and for eternity. This is the best way to educate children: to help them mature in discipleship for Christ and service to others. Do you want to know more about our school? We will be happy to mail information to interested parents and families. Personal visitation of classrooms or conferencing with staff can be arranged. Please contact our office (708/474-8539).

Please help us let others know about TLS! We have copies of brochures available in our office that you can give to interested families. We will mail information if you will provide us with their name and address. We apprecaite your help in telling others about our school.

Where will you be traveling for vacation?

Please remember to send us a post card or bring one with you to give us when you return. We like to see where our families and friends visit and will post these on our bulletin board.
