Graham Road Elementary Partnership
Holy Trinity supports our neighborhood Title 1 school, Graham Road Elementary, with various drives and volunteer opportunities during the year. Read about a few of our regular programs below.
Bake Sale for Graham Road Elementary
Graham Road Elementary School PTA needs help with their bake sale during Election Day 2025 polling hours, a major fund-raising event for them. There are two ways to help.
Provide baked goods, individually wrapped. Whole breads, pies or cakes are good, too. Please include a copy of the recipe so that the contents are known in case a buyer has allergies. Use this form to sign up to donate baked good and then drop them off in the church kitchen on Monday, OR at Amy’s house (contact church office for address) or at the booth on Election Day.
Volunteer for an hour at the bake sale. Meet the neighbors casting ballots at GRES and supporting the school PTA by buying a brownie. Contact the church office to sign up to help at the bake sale booth.
The PTA supports teachers and learning initiatives, strengthens community ties, and hosts fun events (field trips, Family Night, Student/Teacher basketball game, and more)! Your participation will help support these important initiatives.
Winter Clothing Drive
Due to the freezing temperatures, winter items in the Graham Road Elementary boutique have been claimed quickly and are in short supply for students and families in need. They have asked for our help to restock basic clothing and winter items, as well as collect winter jackets of any kind for Pre-K (size 4T) to 6th graders (size 18). Items can be shipped via Amazon or dropped off at our church.
Student Tutoring
Holy Trinity has a dedicated team of volunteers who helped develop and now support a tutoring program at Graham Road Elementary School, which has many students from immigrant and low-income families. This is a great opportunity for people who have availability during school hours. You can volunteer for as many hours as you have time, and training is provided. Contact the office at office@holytrinityfallschurch.org to volunteer.
Backpack Donation Drive
As the start of the school year approaches, Holy Trinity typically hosts a backpack drive for Graham Road Elementary. Members and other community bring new backpacks and school supplies to our altar, building a wonderful donation pile to pass on to the school for distribution.
Christmas Gifts
Holidays can be particularly difficult for low-income families. To bring a little more joy to a few local households, we partner with Graham Road Elementary to identify parents who may need a little assistance in purchasing gifts for their youth. Holy Trinity members collect listed gift items or donate gift cards so presents can be purchased and wrapped for the Graham Road families.
Book Distribution
Every fall, we partner with Graham Road Elementary to distribute over 400 donated books to their students. Each child receives a free book to take home for the summer. We invite Holy Trinity members to join us in reading these books to the students in their classrooms. It's a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of young readers.
