PARENTS RALLY FOR THE PRIDE

Parents’ Weekend looked a little different this year, but still provided a lot of important information and good connections for our parents and faculty. The virtual event kicked off on Wednesday, October 14 with a panel discussion led by Headmaster Bill Taylor. During the meeting, our parent community learned more about life on campus and plans for the Winter Term and the Winter Projects. Students and faculty were featured on the panel, allowing parents a window into the everyday experience at Trinity-Pawling.

Over the next few days, parents attended virtual meetings with their sons’ advisors. Advisors had been briefed about their advisees’ individual classes, sports, clubs, and dorm life, so they were able to provide a comprehensive overview of each student’s progress, performance, and goals. Students joined the meeting as well, which allowed for an interactive conversation and review.

Following the weekend, parents pulled together in an incredible way during our “For The Pride” giving day. Thanks to a visionary family who provided an outstanding dollar-for-dollar match, and to our generous community of parents, the campaign raised over $200,000 for the School. These funds support the boys and their experience every day, and also provide for critical campus needs that have arisen as a result of the pandemic. Our parents truly went the extra distance For the Pride, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Parents, if you haven’t had a chance to make your gift yet, there’s still time! You can contribute via phone, check, Venmo (TrinityPawlingSchool) or visit our For The Pride giving page.
