Peace to your House! A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our Crusader Families!
There
were shepherds living out in the fields nearby. It was night, and they
were taking care of their sheep. An angel of the Lord appeared to them.
And the glory of the Lord shone around them, “Do not be afraid. I
bring you good news. It will bring great joy for all the people. Today
in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah,
the Lord. Here is how you will know I am telling you the truth. You
will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven also appeared. They were
praising God. They said, “May glory be given to God in the highest
heaven! And may peace be given to those He is pleased with on earth!”
The angels left and went into heaven. Then the shepherds said to one
another, “let’s go to Bethlehem. Let’s see this thing that has
happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So, they hurried off and
found Mary and Joseph and the baby. The baby was lying in the manger.
After the shepherds had seen him, they told everyone. They reported
what the angel had said about this child. All who heard it were amazed
at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary kept all these things like
a secret treasure in her heart. She thought about them over and over.
The shepherds returned. They gave glory and praise to God. Everything
they had seen and heard was just as they had been told.
What
if it had been you and I living out in those fields. Would we have
answered the invitation to participate in the greatest miracle the world
has ever known?

Williston
Trinity Christian School was established in 1992 in Williston North
Dakota. For the past 27 years, God has inspired His people to support
our school with their prayers, their participation, and their financial
support! And every year, God’s people have responded and participated
in this miracle that we call WTCS!
WTCS
is funded by tuition from our students’ families (which contributes to
about 60% of the cost to educate each student) and by the generosity of
our Donors, in order to help keep our tuition as low as possible to all
our students, preschool through grade 12.
WTCS
doesn’t receive any government supported funds (even indirectly through
loans, etc.), which allows us to remain truly independent. Because of
this, we can talk about God, Christian Values, and live out our faith
every day!

Each December, WTCS students & staff are invited to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas!! Below is the calendar of events. We look forward to a fun & meaningful Christmas.

Crusaders,
Thank you to everyone who helped make our biggest fundraiser of the year – Our Annual Banquet/Auction – AMAZING! We were beyond blessed with great messages & speaker, fun auction items, and the WTCS Choir! We appreciate all of the support – through sponsorships, auctions bids & general offering donations. We are very grateful for the gifts to the school.
Since we are a non-profit private Christian school, we do not receive any state or federal funding. Tuition dollars cover approximately 50 to 60% of the cost for operations; donations/fundraising covers the rest. We are a faith-based school as compared to a tuition-based school. A tuition based school would charge the cost (which is $10, 500.00 to 12,000.00 per K through 12 student).
Special thanks go out to our Director of Development – Terry Haugen to making this event happen. The banquet committee lead by Jamie Lee was a HUGE blessing as well. Their countless hours of planning and preparation make this a Premier Event in Williston. Thank you!
In Christ,
WTCS Principal Mr. Cory Fleck

¡Hola! My name is Laura Abuhl and I teach Spanish for grades 6-12 at WTCS. Overall, I have taught at WTCS for about 10 years, but not consecutively. Our family moved to Williston from Pennsylvania in 1998, making this the longest time I have lived in one city. Other states in which I have lived include Oklahoma, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky. I also went to high school in London, England.
I received both my B.A. and M.A in Spanish from Michigan State University. Go Green! Because I have my Master’s degree, I am able to offer my classes for dual credit. Essentially, this means my students have the option to receive both high school and college credit for being in my class! I am also on the Executive Board of FLAND (Foreign Language Association of North Dakota) and have presented sessions at numerous conferences.
There are some very exciting things happening in the nation, in our state, and in our school for World Language. First, nationally, teachers are waking up to the best practices for World Language teaching; practices which are backed by years of research. I am dedicated to learning about the best and most innovative ways to deliver instruction and I use an approach called Comprehensible Input. Second, just this year, North Dakota became the 36th state to adopt the Seal of Biliteracy, which will give students who are motivated to work hard an opportunity to apply for this prestigious award. The Seal, when granted, goes on a student’s transcript and their diploma. Additionally, students who take four years of high school Spanish and receive an A for each year will receive a special honor cord to wear at their commencement ceremony. Finally, I could not be more proud of our administration that is committed to World Language. This year, we will be offering Spanish to our littlest scholars, our Pre-K kiddos. Thus, WTCS will have Spanish from Pre-K up to 12th grade. Additionally, pending student interest, we hope to offer a class for Heritage Learners, those students for whom Spanish is their first language. This class will focus on language arts, only in Spanish. Our Heritage Learners are also fabulous candidates for the Seal of Biliteracy.
I could not imagine teaching anywhere else in Williston, but WTCS. I love the staff, the environment, the students, and especially the ability to talk openly about my faith in Jesus. WTCS is not a perfect school, but it is perfect for ME. Perhaps it will be perfect for YOU too.
You are not limited to your own ability, your own education, your own intellect, or your own experience.
Don’t settle for mediocrity. You were created for greatness. You have a King’s anointing.
Scripture verse for today:
My children are a reward and gift from the Lord, and I will enjoy them.
Psalm 127:3
