Trinity Church Nursery School
Every year, our winter fundraiser is crucial to raising capital to directly enrich our educational environment, support our development efforts, and fund our scholarship program for families in need.
Trinity Church Nursery School serves children ages 2-years-old through age 5. As a play-based preschool, Trinity’s primary goals are promoting social-emotional development and a positive sense of self. This includes treating each other with kindness and respect, learning to manage intense feelings, learning to recognize and respond to the feelings of others, and knowing that all children are cherished – exactly as they are.

Trinity strives to create a classroom community in which every child feels loved, respected and valued for the precious, unique individuals they are.

The Village of Wilmette
The Village of Wilmette was incorporated as a municipality in 1872, thus in 2022, the Village of Wilmette will observe its 150th birthday. In fall of 2020 the Village Board of Trustees determined that this milestone should be celebrated in a manner similar to prior significant anniversaries. To that end, the Village Board created a 15-member Sesquicentennial Planning Committee which first met in December 2020 and continues to meet monthly. The committee is working to create a calendar of events as part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration. These events and a variety of other projects are being developed by the Committee’s various working groups: big events, fundraising, arts, history, business, and promotion. 1MM is proud to sponsor this exciting event:
