Happy Friday!
Be sure to congratulate the following art students who received awards last night from the Montgomery Advertiser’s “Design an Ad” contest: Madison Cornett won 2nd place in the 4-6th grade category for her ad designed for McPhillips and Shinbaum, LLP, of Montgomery. Mary Elizabeth Newman won 3rd place in the 7-9th grade category for her ad for Hardee’s Restaurants. Both students received US Savings Bonds as a prize.
Of the 1,202 students who entered the contest, 150 were from Trinity. Considering these numbers, we should be very proud of Mrs. Bricken and these two talented students!
I should also mention that Josey Aughtman, a 5th grader in our Lower School, had her ad selected for publication by Southern School and Medical Uniforms. Way to go Josey!

Here are a few important reminders as we go into the weekend:
1. Please remember to check attendance each period. If a student is missing and is not listed as absent, please press the call button in your room and notify the front office.
2. I hope to have a State Course of Study ready for each of you by Tuesday. When you get these, please begin using them as a reference for the content of your courses. Also, please remember that we agreed to begin turning in lesson plans as of the second semester. It is important to begin thinking in that direction even now.
3. Classroom visits by department chairs and myself are well underway. Some will be quick drop-ins, while others will last longer.
4. Please remember that we will have a joint chapel service with Eastwood School on October 30. The schedule will be posted throughout the school.
5. I will be out of town next Wednesday – Friday attending the National Middle School Association Conference in Denver. I look forward to sharing many exciting things with you when I return!
6. Please remember our K-12 faculty meeting immediately following carpool this coming Monday. This meeting will be held in Willett Hall.
7. Remember to make sure that you clear any field trips with the administration prior to giving out any information regarding the trip. If any middle school students are involved, I need to be informed ahead of time. I may be aware of potential conflicts that are unknown to you.
8. Please remember to cut off your SMART Board projectors if you are going to be out of the room for an extended period of time. These bulbs are very expensive, and we need to make them last as long as possible.
9. Thank you for your feedback concerning hall passes. The faculty is pretty much evenly split on this issue. We will keep things as they are now, and I’ll share an idea with you when we get a chance to meet together as a division in a couple of weeks.
10. For your information: Students may distribute birthday invitations at school ONLY if they are giving one to everyone in their grade. Please help me keep an eye on this one!
Thanks once again for a great job this week! Have a wonderful weekend!
