Start of School 2015

Trinity Field Ready for Play
Growing enrollment is the big news as the school year begins. The week before classes, Trinity was already anticipating more than 242 students, surpassing a number not seen since September 2008!  This marks the point where enrollment has fully recovered from the effects of Hurricane Ike!  As the year begins, every classroom available to the school is being used for instruction.  In order eventually to allow double sections in each grade level, the school will need to recover the number of classrooms compared to pre-Ike.  During the current fiscal year, the school’s Board of Trustees will be working on a way to provide additional classroom space for 2016-2017.  This is a good problem to have!

Trinity Field is ready for the start of school!  By the time you read this, the Middle School alley will be gated with the gates being open for morning and afternoon carpool.
  
In Chapel on September 3, Trinity will recognize 8th Graders who have attended here continually since Kindergarten.  I am grateful to report that 19 students are eligible for this recognition; we call them the “Alpha-Omega Society.”  This is the largest group since we began acknowledging students this way in 2004.  We are, of course, grateful for all of our students, but it is fitting that we take some time to give thanks for our “long-timers.”  The parents of these students have given them the most complete Trinity experience possible: Sarah Brannen, Kelly Carmichael, Morgan Cook, Tara Donnelly, Noah Elzner, Christoff Gault, Caroline Grant, Kennedy Harrington, Alex Ivash, Jordan Kelly, Logan Kelly, Aidan Knupple, Elizabeth Pennington, Christopher Perkins, Rocio Prida, Christian Quinn, Nicholas Sutton, Courtney Whittaker, and Nicholas Zompa.
