Happy Friday!
We have had an exciting and eventful week here at Trinity. I will highlight some of the things we did together, share some exciting news, and give you a sneak peek into what is upcoming during the next two weeks.
Apple 1:1 is Coming to Trinity!
Trinity has been making tremendous strides in the area of technology. One of our primary goals is to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist, and one of the best ways we can do this is to leverage the technology with which they are already so familiar.
Next year, we will pilot a 1:1 program in our 7th and 9th grades. This means that all 7th and 9th grade students will be issued an Apple Macbook computer which will become a powerful educational tool. If you'd like to know why we think Apple is such a great choice for the education world, simply

Look for more information about this exciting move in the coming weeks.
Project Give
All week, students have been contributing to Project Give by purchasing t-shirts or wristbands. The money will go to fund two new wells in Zambia so that people living in extreme poverty may have something you and I take for granted - clean drinking water.
Take a few moments to watch this video to see what one well can do for someone in need. Please contact the school office if you would like to donate to this worthy cause.
Peter Pan
Our entire middle school traveled to the
Alabama Shakespeare Festival earlier this week to attend their outstanding production of Peter Pan. The students behaved exceptionally well, and we received many compliments from the ASF staff. For their cooperation and for the outstanding impression they made, we chose to reward the kids with a dress-down day and a very special dessert treat during lunch. Give your child a pat on the back for representing Trinity with class!
'Twas the Night
Our middle school students ushered in the Christmas spirit once again with a fabulous set of performances at our annual 'Twas the Night arts extravaganza. Artwork was displayed in Willett Hall, and we enjoyed outstanding performances by the Trinity Treble Choir and several dance groups, in addition to our Guys and Dolls Show Choir. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done!
Bible Service Project
Our 7th grade Bible students have been completing a service project this week without ever leaving campus. Mrs. Elisa Bowden has been taking the students to our lower school to read and teach math lessons. The students took this project very seriously and I'm eying a few for future teaching slots here at TPS!
Christmas Chapel
Students need to remember to wear chapel dress Monday for our Christmas Chapel. As usual, we will have Lessons and Carols in the sanctuary of Eastwood Presbyterian Church, across the street from the school.
Exam Time
Please remember that exams are coming up quickly. Remind your child to study for exams a bit each day, even now. Consult the calendar on the
Trinity Website for specific exam days and times.
