Middle School Matters

Happy Friday!

We have had another good week here at Trinity, complete with a Partner with the Principal luncheon and the election of our Student Council for this year.  Keep reading to find out more.

Partner with the Principal

Many thanks to Thomas and Jodie Champion for opening their home to the parents of our 7th grade students Wednesday.  It was a pleasure to meet with so many of you and I enjoyed our time together.  Thanks for your support of Trinity School!

Student Council Elections

This week, the middle school division held an all-out campaign for our student council positions for this school year.  Our halls have been lined with colorful and creative posters, and the students did an outstanding job with their speeches at lunch each day.  Congratulations to all of the candidates for a job well done!  I am very proud of each of you!

Here are the results of our voting today:

Congratulations to Stan and Misty Milton on the birth this week of their daughter, Mary Mason.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19 1/2" long.  Mother and baby are both doing well.

College Day

Please remember that we will dismiss at 12:00pm next Tuesday, September 21 as our upper school students observe College Day.  Middle school students will not be served lunch next Tuesday.

Social Networking

We live in a digital world where communication is instant.  While this can be good, it also poses problems to parents trying to raise their kids in a far different world from the one in which they grew up. Common Sense Media provides some helpful suggestions for dealing with social networking and your middle-schooler.  You may access the article by clicking here.  While on their site, you might want to check out the tons of other great resources they have to offer.

Here are our tests for next week.  Please remember that Tuesday is a half-day.

Tuesday - Social Studies

7th Grade:

Friday - Civics, Pre-Algebra/Math 7

8th Grade:
