faculty who truly cared about each and every student and family," Pat says. "I even recall
Mr. Bob Yarbrough, the English teacher at the time, sending me a note one day to tell me
not to worry—he'd gone out early that morning, before school, to water the flowers we
had just planted at the school." When it came down to it, the Palmer School community
really was just a small family. "We all counted on each other when things got tough," Pat
recalls. "We got through it all, and here we are, forty years later, still growing and becoming
even more beautiful—with an exceptional faculty, outstanding administrative staff and
loving parents who are all deeply dedicated to the success of Palmer Trinity School." Most
importantly, these past 35 years have provided an opportunity for generations of Brockways,
both past and present, to come together and share in the joy of a loving, thriving community.
"PALMER AND PALMER TRINITY SCHOOL WILL ALWAYS
HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART," PAT SAYS. "I FEEL
SO LUCKY THAT WE, THE BROCKWAY FAMILY, GOT TO BE
A PART OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SUCCESS STORY."
