Williston Trinity Christian School

THANK YOU to Williston Auto & Walmart for awarding our very own High School Math Teacher – Mr. Marvin Pableo – as their TEACHER OF THE WEEK!

From Mr. Pableo: “I share this recognition to all the hardworking teachers of Williston Trinity Christian School. I find this recognition a very humbling, yet glorifying experience as a math teacher for about 8 years now. The same praise goes to my immediate heads for always guiding & supporting me every step of the way. I will always be indebted to you.

Mr. Pableo came to Williston Trinity Christian School from the Philippines for the 2018-2019 school year. This is his 3rd year teaching at WTCS. He has his Bachelor of Secondary Education degree from Cebu Normal University, 2013; and his Master of Education in Math at the University of the Philippines, 2017.

Outside of school, he enjoys painting his classroom, biking around Williston, and singing at the church. Riding in a helicopter & parachuting are items on his bucket list! Mr. Pableo comes from a large family – 8 siblings – he is the 3rd from the youngest. He always considers his family as his source of strength and life.

When asked what makes you CRU proud? His reply is “to be able to teach Math and at the same time talk about God with my students, that is what makes me proud to be a part of this CRU family.”

1. Hometown: I am a native of Cebu, Philippines.
2. Family: My father used to be in school maintenance and my mother has always been a dedicated and loving housewife. I have 8 siblings and I am the third youngest. I always consider my family as my source of strength and life.
3. Who or what inspires you? My parents.
4. Words of wisdom to live by: Do not look down on people no matter how successful you become.
5. What was your first job? I used to work in a production company when I was 16.
6. What skill would you love to learn? I would really love to play either the piano or guitar.
7. You might not know this about me: I can ride my bike without using my hands. (Thank you Meriel – WTCS strings teacher – for teaching me how to do it.)
8. What is your catchphrase? If you need help, please let me know.

Amazing Things Happen @ WTCS! In our Preschool & Prekindergarten programs, Mrs. Haugen, Spanish teacher, joins the class once a week to teach Spanish! In addition to Spanish, our PS & PK students have sensory stations, art, circle time, storytime, and so much more! At this time, we do have a few openings.

Preschool is for ages 3 & 4 (must be 3 years old by Aug. 1, 2020). It is a two-day program meeting on Monday & Friday from either 8:30-11:00am or 12:30-3:00pm.
Prekindergarten is for ages 4 & 5 (must be 4 years old by Aug. 1, 2020). We offer a 3-day (Tues/Wed/Thurs) or a 5-day (Monday-Friday) program from either 8:30-11:30am or 12:30-3:30pm.

We do have limited space available. (The morning 5-day PK program is full.) Call us today at 701-774-9056 or stop by the school office for more information.

“There are many reasons we choose to send our kids to Trinity, but the most important reason is that we are doing it out of obedience to the Lord.  We prayed long and hard before our children started school, and God very clearly put Trinity in our path and continues to make it clear that this is where our kids belong.  Having our kids at Trinity gives them the opportunity to be educated in a “spiritual boot camp” environment to help prepare them for the spiritual battles they will face in their lives.  One of the prayers we pray over our kids often is that they will grow to know God and His voice, and it just makes sense to us to send them to school in a place where God is given glory and acknowledged in every aspect of their education.

The three places we spend the majority of our time are home, school, and church.  Because we have chosen Christian education, our children are able to see that these three places are all giving them the same message: God needs to be central to everything in their lives.  It is a blessing to know that our children spend time in Bible class daily and go to chapel weekly, but it is an even greater blessing to know that they are learning history and science through a Biblical lens and to know that in their reading lessons, Bible stories are used and God’s values and morals are taught.   “God things” aren’t separate from academic things.  They are seeing God in academics. 

In addition to all of that, the people who are investing into our children are wonderful and it is obvious that they truly care about our kids by the many ways they go above and beyond as they do their jobs.  It is wonderful to have our kids educated in a smaller school atmosphere where we have many opportunities to be involved and get to know the people who have so much influence over our children.  It feels like a family and we really like that.

And when I was trying to come up with one word about Trinity, I had to make it two words.  “Worth it” is how I would describe our experience at Trinity.  It is a sacrifice, but it is so worth it.  It does cost us, but we know the investment is well worth it in light of eternity.”

The Preschool & Prekindergarten Supply Lists will be mailed along with other information regarding drop-off/pick-up, snacks, etc., in early August.

We realize Clorox wipes are in extreme short supply. If you see another option for a cleaner we could use, we would appreciate it. Thank you!

There are seven spheres of influence to pray over on National Day of Prayer: church, government, family, education, business, military, and media. The WTCS Leadership Team headed out into the community and prayed over the school, the community of Williston, and the nation.
