They shape our daily rhythms, define our shared experience, and reinforce the strengths that distinguish our school community. Whether it\u2019s gathering for a student-led Chapel Talk in All Saints\u2019 Chapel, sitting together at family-style meals, or honoring milestones in our Stepping Up ceremony, these moments anchor us in something greater than ourselves and connect generations of students, faculty, and alumni.<\/p>\n<p>What makes these traditions so powerful is not their age, but their ability to reinforce the continuity of the Trinity-Pawling experience. They remind our students that they are part of a legacy \u2014 a long line of students who have walked these halls, grappled with the same challenges, and emerged stronger as a result. As our world evolves, we remain committed to honoring our past while preparing boys for the future. Trinity-Pawling&#8217;s traditions aren\u2019t stagnant; they grow with us, guided by purpose and reflection. To walk this campus is to walk alongside generations who have come before \u2014 men who once stood where our boys now stand, learning the same values that define the Trinity-Pawling experience. It\u2019s a legacy we\u2019re proud to uphold and a future we\u2019re excited to build.<\/p>\n<p>When students speak of \u201cThe Brotherhood,\u201d they are describing the powerful, unspoken bond that connects them across classes and generations. It\u2019s seen in small moments of kindness: an older boy teaching a freshman how to stack dishes after a meal, or a senior offering encouragement before a Chapel Talk. One of the distinctive strengths of Trinity-Pawling is that our students value kindness over status \u2014 and research affirms that such communities lead to healthier, happier lives. Watching a young student navigate his first days here, supported by his brothers, is a powerful reminder: the depth of the common good in any community is rooted in everyday acts of kindness. It is an honor to lead a School where these traditions continue to flourish and where community is not just spoken \u2014 it is lived.<\/p>\n<p>Student Chapel Talks, in particular, continue to inspire me. There is something profoundly moving about seeing young men speak from the heart in front of their peers \u2014 with courage, vulnerability, and conviction. These stories become part of the School\u2019s story, year after year. Our traditions create an opportunity for boys to learn by doing, and in doing, to grow with joy and purpose. In this Brotherhood, they find friendships that endure, confidence that is earned, and the lifelong understanding that honor, kindness, and perseverance matter.<\/p>\n<p>Trinity-Pawling compels me as an educator because of the culture of conscientious discipline that permeates our learning environment. Aristotle wrote, \u201cWe are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.\u201d Here, boys learn that excellence lies in the details \u2014 that effort reflects character, and character is built through consistent, thoughtful action.<\/p>\n<p>As we guide our students into an ever-changing world, these traditions offer stability, meaning, and connection. They help us form a community built on trust and shared purpose \u2014 one that stretches across generations of alumni and friends. It is a privilege to witness these traditions thrive, not as relics of the past, but as vital, evolving parts of the Trinity-Pawling experience.<\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">TRADITIONS THAT SHAPE AND STRENGTHEN TRINITY-PAWLING<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5814\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5814 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HunterBaranSIP_QUADImages.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Hunter Baran \u201925 SIP\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HunterBaranSIP_QUADImages.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HunterBaranSIP_QUADImages-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5814\" rel=\"bookmark\">STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: HUNTER BARAN \u201925<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>For his Senior Independent Project (SIP), Hunter Baran \u201925 set out to leave a meaningful legacy at Trinity-Pawling \u2014 one that future students could enjoy and benefit from. A five-year member of the school community, Hunter drew inspiration from his love of kayaking and the peaceful moments he\u2019s spent at the Trinity-Pawling Pond. His vision? To refurbish an old, broken-down canoe and return it to the water.<\/p>\n<p>The canoe, originally donated by Mr. Mead, became the focus of Hunter\u2019s Wintersession. With the guidance of Mr. Frost and Mr. Moreno in the woodworking shop, he spent two and a half weeks sanding, repairing, and applying epoxy. The process included extra time outside of the given SIP block \u2014 a full-time effort made possible because Hunter wasn\u2019t involved in a winter sport. Mistakes were made, but those moments became valuable lessons in problem-solving and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Pushing the project further, Hunter chose to pursue an SIP with Distinction. This meant crafting a canoe paddle using repurposed wood from old benches removed during the old hockey locker room renovation. He\u2019s now putting the finishing touches on the paddle, aiming to complete it before his mid-May presentation to the faculty.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his experience, Hunter appreciates how the Practicum \u2014 from Winter Projects to GCC to SIP \u2014 has prepared him for college life. Known for his independence, he learned the value of teamwork, compromise, and trust. &#8220;It felt very professional,&#8221; he shared, \u201cespecially the process of preparing and practicing for presentations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, Hunter embraced the journey: stepping outside his comfort zone, learning from mistakes, and celebrating the satisfaction of hard-earned accomplishment. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to talk about something you\u2019re passionate about,\u201d he said. When presentation day arrives, he hopes to share not just a project, but a lasting contribution to the place he\u2019s called home.<\/p>\n<p><em>by Judy Redder<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">LEAVING A LEGACY<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5794\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5794 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MickeyCarroll08_Students_Quad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Mickey Carroll \u201908 with students Beni Maly \u201925 and Nick Brandmeyer \u201925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MickeyCarroll08_Students_Quad.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MickeyCarroll08_Students_Quad-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5794\" rel=\"bookmark\">BEYOND THE CLASSROOM WITH NICK BRANDMEYER \u201925 AND BENI MALY \u201925<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>For their Senior Independent Projects (SIPs), Nick Brandmeyer \u201925 and Beni Maly \u201925 traveled to South Africa to learn firsthand about the fight against wildlife poaching \u2014 and returned determined to educate others.<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s project focuses on raising awareness about the imbalance between poachers and wildlife rangers. Initially planning a backpacking trip, Nick shifted gears when the opportunity to travel to South Africa arose. \u201cIt was a huge step outside my comfort zone, and I took a chance, and I\u2019ve never once regretted it,\u201d he shared. His project draws on what he learned in South Africa \u2014 through dog vaccinations, game drives, presentations, tracking exercises, and helicopter patrols \u2014 to help educate others about poaching and the urgent need for greater support, funding, and awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Beni\u2019s SIP centers on creating a short documentary about rhino poaching, using footage he captured during the trip. After learning about and making a connection with alumnus Mickey Carroll \u201908 and his organization in South Africa, Soldiers for Wildlife \u2014 thanks to Director of College Counseling Slade Mead \u2014 Beni quickly immersed himself in the issue. His goal is to spread awareness in a \u201cmodernized\u201d way to younger audiences who may not typically engage with conservation topics. Through firsthand experiences \u2014 working alongside rangers, flying helicopter patrols, helping at rehabilitation centers, and supporting veterinary efforts in local villages \u2014 Beni saw the raw realities of wildlife conservation, shaping not just his project but his entire perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Both students credit the experience with not only shaping their projects but also changing their perspectives. \u201cIt was life-changing without exaggeration,\u201d Beni reflected. Nick added, \u201cI think every student should have the chance to go on a trip to South Africa and do the work I did \u2014 it was life-changing.\u201d Their work stands as a testament to the power of stepping outside one\u2019s comfort zone and making a difference.<\/p>\n<p><em>by Missy McCluskey<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">SIPS ON THE FRONTLINES OF CONSERVATION<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5786\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5786 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/EmilyTucci_Hydroponics_Quad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling Science Teacher Emily Tucci P\u201928 with her Middle School Science Class\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/EmilyTucci_Hydroponics_Quad.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/EmilyTucci_Hydroponics_Quad-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5786\" rel=\"bookmark\">FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: EMILY TUCCI P\u201928<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>The hydroponic garden at Trinity-Pawling took root this year thanks to Jeff Powell P\u201918, a past parent and Senior Vice President of CulinArt, who introduced the idea to the School. Powell saw an opportunity to enhance learning and support the dining program through sustainable gardening. Science teacher Emily Tucci P\u201928 and her 8th-grade class brought the project to life, creating a hands-on, collaborative experience for students.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Tucci\u2019s 8th-grade science class led the project, from setting up the system to researching hydroponics. Unlike traditional gardening, hydroponics uses filtered, nutrient-rich water at the correct pH level, instead of soil and fertilizer, dramatically reducing water usage while promoting healthy plant growth. &#8220;It\u2019s a win-win for the environment and the water bill,&#8221; Tucci explained.<\/p>\n<p>Students chose to grow green leaf lettuce, basil, bok choy, kale, and Sweet William flowers. Once harvested, the produce was given to CulinArt to be used in the family-style meals served at Scully Dining Hall.<\/p>\n<p>Along with setting up and maintaining the hydroponic garden, Mrs. Tucci created a unit on different growing mediums with the help of Ashley Frost, who majored in agriculture in college. Together, they guided students through research and hands-on labs comparing hydroponics to traditional soil gardening, deepening their understanding of plant growth and sustainable practices.<\/p>\n<p>The project has sparked excitement both in and outside the classroom\u2014some students are even planning home gardens this summer. \u201cI love that they have learned to love the process of caring for the plants, through enjoying them on their plate!\u201d Tucci shared.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Tucci hopes the hydroponic garden will continue to be a lasting part of the curriculum. &#8220;This is only the beginning,&#8221; she said, emphasizing the garden\u2019s role in experiential learning, sustainability, and community collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><em>by Missy McCluskey<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">THE HYDROPONIC GARDEN PROJECT<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5791\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5791 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/College-Tour_IMG_7485-e1745947430224.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5791\" rel=\"bookmark\">TRINITY-PAWLING\u2019S SPRING BREAK COLLEGE TOUR<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>Over our March Spring Break, five Trinity-Pawling students hit the road with Director of College Counseling Slade Mead for an unforgettable college tour. In just six days, the group logged 1,600 miles, visiting Marist College, Colgate University, Syracuse University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Union College, Trinity College, Skidmore College, UMass Amherst, Northeastern University, Boston University, Boston College, Tufts University, Brandeis University, Babson College, and Bentley University.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the trip was simple but important: help students discover what type of school feels right for them. &#8220;By visiting a mix of large and small, rural and suburban, liberal arts and STEM-focused institutions, students develop an understanding of their preferences \u2014 an essential first step in the college search process,&#8221; Mead said. &#8220;We visited every type of school out there.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights included watching a Syracuse basketball game at the Dome, grabbing pizza at the famous Pepe\u2019s, and enjoying personalized campus tours from Trinity-Pawling alumni Sean Wyman \u201924 (Bentley) and Michael Dearborn \u201924 (Skidmore).<\/p>\n<p>According to Mead, the most rewarding moments were hearing students climb back into the van after a visit and say, \u201cI really liked that school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Spring Break College Tour complements the year-round work of Trinity-Pawling\u2019s College Counseling Office, which is uniquely supported by the entire faculty. Unlike many schools where college counselors alone write what is known as the Secondary School Report (similar to a teacher recommendation, but reflecting on a student outside the classroom), &#8220;Trinity-Pawling teachers, who know the boys best, write the official Secondary School Reports (SSR). This personalized approach gives colleges a deeper, more authentic understanding of each student\u2019s character, strengths, and growth. It\u2019s a distinctive part of the Trinity-Pawling experience and a true advantage in the college admission process,&#8221; Mead commented. &#8220;Colleges love our SSRs!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year, Trinity-Pawling seniors submitted over 800 college applications to a wide range of schools, highlighting the diverse paths and bright futures ahead for the Class of 2025.

But no one really knew his true passion: wildlife and nature. In 2017, he shifted from a career in tech sales to pursue his dream: wildlife conservation, fighting to combat the insidious poaching of rhinos and elephants in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA hockey friend of mine and I started SFW (Soldiers for Wildlife) Conservation, supporting rangers and conservationists in South Africa,\u201d Mickey explains. \u201cLast year, more than 150 rangers were killed globally &#8211; the majority in Africa and Asia &#8211; trying to protect rhinos and elephants from being poached. It\u2019s a war no one talks about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October 2024, Mickey Carroll reached out to Slade Mead and offered to serve as a mentor in the Senior Independent Project (SIP) program. Slade put Mickey in touch with Nick Brandmeyer \u201925 and Beni Maly \u201925, and the seniors developed their projects centered on rhino and elephant poaching. Mickey sent documentaries and research papers about the topic, and the boys immersed themselves in this critical issue. They discussed what they learned on video calls and group chats with Mickey throughout the fall and early winter.<\/p>\n<p>The bonus? The young men spent ten days over spring break with Mickey and his team at the SFW Conservation preserve adjacent to Kruger National Park. \u201cIt was an intense, exhausting ten days, anything but a vacation,\u201d Mickey and Beni Maly agreed. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what made it so mind-blowing,\u201d Beni said. \u201cWe did some meaningful, hands-on projects that really helped the conservationists. We flew in a helicopter with a ranger to survey a new plot of land. We assisted a group of trainers who work with Dutch Shepherds specifically for tracking and anti-poaching. We went on some game drives and did an overnight camping under the stars in Kruger National Park. We experienced first-hand reality about poaching and the people who put their lives at risk to protect these animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beni is in the process of completing a 20-minute documentary based on what he learned through his SIP and trip to South Africa, hoping to earn a diploma of distinction at Commencement in May. He also plans to return to South Africa in the summer of 2026 to continue his work with Mickey and SFW Conservation.<\/p>\n<p>As for Mickey, his reward comes from being able to give back to his alma mater and share this conservation opportunity with Trinity-Pawling students. \u201cYou see the rawness of life when you\u2019re in South Africa. It gives you appreciation not only for wildlife but for humanity. I always come back from Africa with such a perspective shift, and I try to apply that to my daily life back in the States. I think the boys got a taste of that mindset as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>by Maria Buteux Reade<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">ALUMNI-LED MISSION INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5802\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5802 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball-Field-Ribbon-Cutting_TAJ_5780-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Mo Vaughn \u201986 Baseball Field Ribbon Cutting with Class of 1964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball-Field-Ribbon-Cutting_TAJ_5780-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball-Field-Ribbon-Cutting_TAJ_5780-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball-Field-Ribbon-Cutting_TAJ_5780-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball-Field-Ribbon-Cutting_TAJ_5780.jpg 1344w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5802\" rel=\"bookmark\">MO VAUGHN \u201986 BASEBALL FIELD REDEDICATION AND TURF CELEBRATION<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>On Saturday, April 26, the Trinity-Pawling community came together to rededicate the Mo Vaughn \u201986 Baseball Field. During the ceremony, the Class of 1964 and other community members were honored for their extraordinary generosity, making possible the construction of our state-of-the-art turf field, equipped with covered dugouts, bullpens, and most importantly, good drainage!<\/p>\n<p>Over 100 alumni, parents, students, and community members braved the threatening forecast, wind, and bouts of rain to celebrate Trinity-Pawling baseball, the only school in the Founders League with a turf field. While other games in the league were canceled due to poor field conditions, Trinity-Pawling faced Westminster despite a night and morning of heavy rain.<\/p>\n<p>Head of School Bill Taylor led the ceremony and ribbon cutting. Alumni speaker Tag Demment \u201964 was joined by Doug Ebert \u201964, Kim Foley \u201964, Dave Jollin \u201964, and Bill Kervan \u201964, who threw out the first pitch. Tag noted that, \u201cIn 1964, I hit, I think, my only home run at T-P. The event occurred because the line drive I hit into right center field rolled into a snowbank and could not be found as I rounded the bases. I would hope no such undeserving home run will ever be hit on this beautiful field!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the Pride baseball team was overpowered by Westy\u2019s pitching and hot bats, they celebrated Senior Day following the game. This ceremony recognized the contributions of the graduating members of the team, and Head Coach Cody Doyle wished players success in their future endeavors, which include several members going on to play baseball in college.<\/p>\n<p>Following the game, a reception was held in the Class of 1964 Hall of Fame and Alumni Room in the Smith Field House and included a performance by the Trinity-Pawling Jazz Band. Thanks to everyone who joined in this historic celebration of generosity and brotherhood.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/trinity-pawling_school\/albums\/72177720325743162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View photos of the event here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>by Matt Soper<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">WITH GRATITUDE TO THE CLASS OF 1964<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5796\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5796 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball_SeniorDay_TAJ_6317-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Varsity Baseball Senior Day Game 2025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball_SeniorDay_TAJ_6317-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball_SeniorDay_TAJ_6317-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball_SeniorDay_TAJ_6317-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Baseball_SeniorDay_TAJ_6317.jpg 1344w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5796\" rel=\"bookmark\">PRIDE ATHLETIC ROUNDUP<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>As we reach the end of April, we will soon be entering the final month of sports at Trinity-Pawling \u2014 not only for the Spring Term, but the entire year! Taking a look at the last couple of months, we\u2019ve seen a lot of success from each of our varsity lacrosse, baseball, golf, track, and tennis teams!<\/p>\n<p>Varsity baseball has had a fun year so far on the newly renovated Mo Vaughn \u201986 Field! In their efforts, the team has amassed a 4-6 record. Pride baseball\u2019s biggest win of the season came last Wednesday in a monumental 6-4 triumph, which broke their 4-year losing streak to the rival Avon!<\/p>\n<p>The lacrosse team has been the definition of no-quit this year. Last week, they overcame a 10-4 deficit after the half to force overtime with Berkshire! I had a chance to speak with the optimistic Jack Rodman \u201925 about his team: \u201cIt\u2019s been a season of ups and downs, but we are still very much in the playoff race. We are feeling confident, and everyone is ready to keep fighting down to the last game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Varsity tennis is looking to regain its early-season success down the final stretch in May. They earned a 6-3 win in their first match of the season at Millbrook! With six matches still in front of them, they&#8217;ll have plenty of opportunity to get back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Track and field earned its only victory in a meet against Canterbury and Millbrook. Senior, Jackson Williams, commented on the coming month: &#8220;Weather has proven to be a significant challenge for us in April. With summer on the horizon, we&#8217;re excited to get some consistency!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, the varsity golf team has fought hard this year in their two matches against Berkshire and Canterbury. They are hungry for their first victory after losing both matches in tight scores. Luckily, they&#8217;ll have lots of chances to prove themselves with 5 matches in May.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s much to be proud of so far, and much to look forward to this Spring Term.
