Trinity Lutheran School - Wahiawa, Hawaii

As we close this school year, we extend our heartfelt mahalo to several beloved members of our Trinity ʻohana.

We thank Mr. Klemp and Mrs. Klemp for their combined 38 years of faithful service to Trinity as they answer God’s call to serve at another Lutheran school in California.

We also celebrate Mrs. Maureen Tengbergan on her retirement after 24 years of nurturing and teaching our preschool students.

Additionally, we thank Mr. Lee, Mrs. von Dohlen, Mrs. Chatelain, and Mrs. Anderson for the gifts, talents, and care they have shared with our students and school community.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23

Though we say Aloha ʻOe—until we meet again—we send you with our love, gratitude, and prayers for the journey ahead. 💚🤍
