TES Young Inventors Take Home Honors
Trinity third- and fourth-grade students competed in the Young Inventors Symposium, sponsored by Charlotte Jewish Day School and Charlotte Preparatory School, last week. Students worked in groups to problem-solve, construct and present their inventions that would "make life easier" to a panel of judges.
Out of 20 inventors from the three schools, the following Trinity students took home honors:
- First Place: Sadie Weiss, Gr. 4 - "Poop, Scoop & Chute"
- Second Place: Gaila Fosbinder, Kate Addison and Logan Kolander, Gr. 3 - "Dog-o-Matic"
- Third Place: Grace McBryde and Clara Long, Gr. 3 - "MagnaFinder"

"All Trinity Reads" Book Announcement
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope." -Maya Angelou
The Embracing Diversity component of Trinity's mission has always been an important pillar of our community. As we continue to explore diversity as a community, we would love for each Trinity family to
join us in reading this year's All Trinity Reads book selection,
The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson.
Copies of The Other Side are available for purchase ($16) at the Front Desk or you can borrow your classroom's copy.
We hope you will read and discuss the book as a family, and then continue the conversation in the broader Trinity community at our Family Celebration Dinner on April 19, 6-7:30pm, in our Dickson Dining Hall.
