\u201cWelcome to the Pride!\u201d Earlier this month, 124 young men learned that they were accepted to Trinity-Pawling for the upcoming school year. Director of Admissions JP Burlington \u201995 and his team were thrilled to share the exciting news and welcome the newest members of the Pride to our school community.<\/p>\n
In each acceptance email, students had the chance to watch a celebratory video about the Trinity-Pawling experience \u2014 produced entirely by current students! Peter Claro \u201921 and Jack Kalin \u201921 took the lead on the project. \u201cOur goal was to capture the many different aspects of T-P and what the School is all about,\u201d Claro explained. \u201cFrom the classrooms, to the fields, to the dorms, and across campus, we wanted to show the true T-P experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claro and Kalin, both members of Ms. Rafferty\u2019s Video Production class, tapped into their creativity and resourcefulness throughout the production process. \u201cThe weather wasn\u2019t great for shooting new footage, but we had lots of great drone shots from other projects that we were able to incorporate,\u201d Claro explained. \u201cWe specifically picked out shots that made the School pop. We really wanted to showcase what makes Trinity-Pawling so great and unique.\u201d<\/p>\n
For both Claro and Kalin, working on the video with guidance from Ms. Rafferty was most rewarding. \u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to Ms. Rafferty, who was our mentor throughout the entire process. She gave us great ideas and suggestions to make the video even better.\u201d The duo would also like to thank classmates Jonathan Link \u201921 and Tyler Woods \u201921 for their contributions to the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe video that the boys produced was everything that we wanted and more,\u201d shared Director of Admissions JP Burlington \u201995. \u201cIt truly captured the essence of who we are as a school, community and brotherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
And a growing brotherhood, at that! To all of our newly-accepted students and families, we\u2019d like to officially welcome you to the Pride. There\u2019s no greater experience than learning, living, and growing alongside 300 brothers. \u201cThe connections you make here…\u201d concluded Claro. \u201c…they are bonds that will last a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
