| TES Class of 2014 |
The 17 students who graduated on May 29 are shown here on the Garth just before their Commencement. These latest graduates are Libbie Lee Ansell, Hunter Thomas Blackwell, Kelli Michele Blackwell, Charles Bush Cragar, Santiago Tobias Faus, Barrett Charles Gaertner, John-Austin Gaertner, Amanda Grace Shallenberger Galan, Joseph Bentley Jaworski, Nayarith Jimenez, Frances Clair McBride, Emily Marie Metyko, Gabrielle Alyse Prets, Seth Michael Ricks, Zane Campbell Seigel, Kelley Jane Shepherd, and Sarah Faye Tillman. These kiddos will be sorely missed, but we look forward to hearing great things about them in the future!
By early summer, activity should begin on the new property at the north end of the campus. The extraction of a gas tank and the demolition of the old drive-through banking operation will precede work to create a fenced playing field. Using a phrase from our past, signage at the construction site will highlight the double entendre: "Trinity is a Good Place to Grow."
Thanks to solid support for the Annual Fund, various maintenance projects will take place including painting overhead ceilings and replacing the worn deck at Hollamon Hall as well as resurfacing the outdoor sports court.
Trinity BOT Vice-President Meg Walker announced recently that the first round of engraved pavers will be placed at the entrance to the Robert L. and Ann Moody Activity Center as part of the Building Our Future: Paving the Way Campaign to help sustain the maintenance and programs of our new building over a multi-year period. The deadline for orders on this first round of pavers is June 16. Please see www.tesgalv.org for details. This is a great way to celebrate loved-ones and to remember those who have come before us.
I am pleased to report that longtime Trinity benefactors Dr. and Mrs. Robert Eanes have made a substantial gift to help the school acquire and implement software from Senior Systems
including Admissions, Enrollment Management, Business Office, and Development Modules. This upgrade to an integrated data management system will help us address a recommendation from the ISAS/SAES Visiting Committee.
The first-ever Camp Charger will be held on weekdays from July 7-18. This program is open to students in rising grades 3-8 and is not to be confused with our Summer-long Camp for the younger ones! Please see www.tesgalv.org for more details or contact Camp Director Anna Hyatt: ahyatt@tesgalv.org.
