Ready, Set, Go!


The "Halls of Trinity" are abuzz as we work to get things ready for the 2009-2010 school year.  Our Guidance Center sponsored a locker orientation day Wednesday, and we welcomed our new teachers to campus today for their first official day on the job.  

We have three new faces in the middle school this year:

Lisa Smithson will be teaching 7th grade English.  Mrs. Smithson comes to us from Southside Middle School in Tallassee where she has been for the last couple of years.  She has also worked in the Montgomery Public Schools, Lee County Schools, Auburn City Schools, and Marion Military Institute in a teaching career that has spanned some 14 years.

Kelly Long will be teaching 7th grade math.  Mrs. Long has been the computer teacher in our Lower School for the last 15 years.  She has also taught junior high math in the Montgomery Public Schools.

Tim Bethea will be teaching middle school boys PE, in addition to serving as an assistant varsity football coach and head varsity golf coach.  Coach Bethea has coached and taught at The Montgomery Academy for the last 23 years.

As you prepare for the new school year, locker organization might be at the top of your list.  Getting the year started off right in this important area will make things run much more smoothly for everyone.  To that end, you might want to take a few moments to read and discuss this post from last year.  It includes some great tips for getting and keeping your locker neat and functional.  (Note: You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to the locker info)

Enjoy your last weekend of summer, and I'll see you next Wednesday!
