M E S S A G E F R O M T H E C H A I R M A N O F T H E B O A R D O F T R U S T E E S Dear Friends, When my wife and I stepped onto the Palmer Trinity School campus, ten years ago, I knew we had found the right place for our three daughters Arissa, Ilana, and Janae. Each of our girls has had different, but wonderful experiences here. Two of our daughters are now alumnae, our youngest will graduate this year, and they have each taken different paths. However, their paths have all been shaped by the values and sense of community at Palmer Trinity School. As a parent, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the past two years, I believe there is no other place as special and unique as Palmer Trinity School. I want to thank each and every one of you for your philanthropic support during the 2014–2015 academic year. Last year, the Annual Fund set a new and impressive record in parent and alumni participation with gifts reaching over $690,000 and 76% participation. More than just giving, volunteers joined in far greater numbers, whether as PTPA members, Boosters, Alumni, or through our special events. Setting these records is a reflection of the Palmer Trinity community's commitment to a premier educational experience. Fundraising and volunteer efforts are essential to the School's ability to provide for the students of today and tomorrow. Now more than ever, it is important that we all give what we can to fulfill the School's vision to be one of the best Episcopal schools in the nation. As we remain true to our mission of inspiring students to seek enlightenment and lead lives of honor, integrity, and social responsibility, we know that it is through your support that we continue to excel. Your generosity enables Palmer Trinity School to offer more students the exceptional education that your children enjoy, and that my daughters have enjoyed — an education that distinguishes our children as independent and critical thinkers and leaders in our society. On behalf of Palmer Trinity School and the Board of Trustees, thank you for choosing PTS and thank you for your financial support for our school. I look forward to celebrating many accomplishments together as we continue on this important path. e future is bright as our students are transformed into leaders and citizens of the world. Sincerely, M IC H A E L B A I A MON T E , Chairman, Board of Trustees
