Trinity Educational Trust September 2007 Newsletter February 2008 Newsletter
The Trust is the fundraising arm for Trinity Junior High. It has a separate Board of Trustees whose primary function is to pursue and support various fundraising activities. Over the last six years, $4,500,000 has been raised for new construction; school-wide technology improvements, funding five endowments and improving the resources available for our students at every level of the teaching environment. Your help is needed to continue our growth and commitment of exceptional education in the Catholic tradition. Current focus is being directed to formalizing a planned giving program with focus on gifts of stock and the inclusion of the Trinity Educational Trust in wills and bequests.

Richard and Mary Udouj Technology Endowment
Computer literacy is a basic education requirement that a student needs to compete in the 21st century. This endowment has provided funds for an enhanced computer lab; access to the Internet and other educational resources in the classrooms and faculty/student laptops in the classroom. Technology continues to develop and require consistent upgrades at the classroom level.

Jim and Ann Bruning Faculty Endowment
Funds to recognize outstanding faculty performance; bring needed curriculum expertise to the campus and allow individual faculty members to attend appropriate national or regional educational meetings are provided for from this fund.

Catherine McAuley Tuition Assistance Endowment
With the changing demographics in our community, there has been an increased demand for financial assistance for eligible students to attend Trinity. Annually, $25,000 - $30,000 is made available from this endowment for this purpose, but the need continues to increase.

Mary F. Grace Capital Improvements Endowment
Private schools are tuition-dependant. A major capital expenditure could not be handled out of schools operations. This fund has been established to assist in major capital needs that exceed $15,000.

Beland/Hosford Library Endowment
There is always a need for books, even with the technology! Funds provide books, equipment, and other related teaching needs.
