Dear Families,
Welcome back to another exciting year at Blessed Trinity! I am happy to give a special welcome to our new students. We are so pleased to have you join our school community. My name is Mrs. Tracie Helfrich and I will be your children’s Art teacher. This is my ninth year at Blessed Trinity and my 27th year as a teacher in the archdiocese. I have been very fortunate these past 27 years to have taught at St. Michael, St. Bartholomew, St. John of the Cross, and St. Timothy Catholic Schools. These schools will always hold a special place in my heart! During my years of teaching, I have worked with students in second, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. I am so excited to share my love of art with your children and look forward to seeing all the talent that our students have to offer!
You may see me around the neighborhood as I am a member of St. Timothy Parish and sing in our church choir. My younger son, Matthew, is a graduate of Blessed Trinity and a sophomore at Archbishop Ryan High School. My older son, Stephen, is a graduate of Blessed Trinity and Roman Catholic High School, and a sophomore at Penn State. I am the product of Catholic schools also, and have attended Holy Innocents Grade School, Little Flower High School, and Immaculata College.
I am looking forward to a productive, creative, and enjoyable year with your children. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of helping them grow and develop their many talents! Please feel free to contact me throughout the year, as your children’s success depends on our partnership and support. I can be reached through e mail at thelfrich@btrcs.org. God bless you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Helfrich
