We All Need This Type of Enthusiasm!

I hope you enjoy watching this video of a three-year-old boy conducting the fourth movement to Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. This shows just how music can stir the soul.  This little kid really knows this piece!

Enjoy:

Faculty Notes

Good Monday Morning!

Here are some important announcements and resources as we begin our final "normal" week before exams:

K-12 Faculty Meeting

There will be a brief K-12 faculty meeting this afternoon beginning at 3:40 in Willett Hall.  We will get a synopsis of our SAIS findings at this meeting.

Division Meeting

There will be no division meeting next Monday.  We will regroup when we return in January and will have a look at our recent test scores, as well as chart a course for the second semester.  Enjoy your afternoon next week!

Apple 1:1 Initiative



As you may now know, we have announced that our Apple 1:1 rollout will take place in grades seven and nine.  This means that our seventh grade teachers will have students attending class each day with a Macbook, and the rest of the secondary grades will quickly follow over the next few years.

As we prepare for this rollout, we will be providing many resources for you to utilize in your classrooms each day.  Here is one for starters - the Apple Education page.  Simply click the link to explore why we believe Apple to be on the cutting edge of education, and to get a look at what a 1:1 program looks like.

Stay tuned for more information and training, as well as some possible school visits.  It is an exciting time to be in education, and an exciting time to be at Trinity!

Have a great week!
