We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents, grandparents, and family members who graced Trinity-Pawling with their presence during our recent Parents’ Weekend. Your unwavering support and collaboration remain integral to the success of every young man here at our School.
Parents’ Weekend at Trinity-Pawling is a time of celebration, where families come together to witness the vibrant happenings on campus.
One of the distinctive features of Parents’ Weekend at Trinity-Pawling is our student-led conferences, providing an opportunity for the boys to showcase their progress and chart their course toward excellence in their respective classes. This process enables parents to gain firsthand insights into their sons’ classroom achievements and witness the burgeoning confidence fostered by their experiences at Trinity-Pawling.
At the core of Parents’ Weekend is the demonstration of the transformative experiences the boys are having. During a special presentation, parents were treated to captivating performances by our jazz band and the Trinitones. Additionally, they had the chance to engage in a Q&A session with five of our students while learning about their Trinity-Pawling experiences. Head of School Bill Taylor addressed parents, shedding light on the cultural challenges teenage boys face today and how Trinity-Pawling actively empowers them to develop their self-awareness.
Friday evening, Mr. Taylor and Jennifer Taylor graciously invited parents and faculty into their home to share food and drink, which exuded the warm spirit of our community.
Saturday kicked off with an NCAA discussion led by Director of Financial Aid Robert Ferraris ’93 and Associate Director of College Counseling Bill Dunham. This session provided crucial insights into the intricate college process, particularly for student-athletes. Throughout the day, students and parents continued to engage with teachers in conferences and enjoyed a delicious meal in Scully Hall.
The weekend concluded with an engaging pre-game social gathering at Smith Field House, setting the stage for parents to cheer on their sons as they competed in various matches across the campus.
Thank you once again to all the parents, faculty, and students who made Parents’ Weekend at Trinity-Pawling a truly memorable and enriching experience. Your continued support and active participation are invaluable in fostering a strong, vibrant community that nurtures the growth and development of our students.
We look forward to many more shared moments and successes ahead.
