Dear Friends,
With every year, Palmer Trinity School becomes an increasingly special place with an authentic
contribution to our community. As a parent, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the last
three years, I want to thank each of you for the philanthropic efforts you put forth during the 2015-
2016 academic year. I am happy to announce that last school year the Annual Fund set a new record
for parent and alumni participation with gifts reaching over $870,000 and 81% participation.
is announcement is more than just numbers, but an indication that our school is thriving.
In addition to sheer generosity, many more volunteers joined to serve Palmer Trinity School,
whether as PTPA members, Boosters, Alumni, or through special events. As we progress
together, your remarkable commitment to premier education becomes ever apparent. While
Palmer Trinity School continues to provide for its students, fundraising and volunteering
remain pivotal fundamentals of our success. It is even more important today than yesterday
that we fulfill our vision to be one of the best Episcopal schools in the nation. Our mission
is to promote academic excellence and to inspire students to live lives of virtue, humanity and
spirit. Your consistent support is the reason that we meet our mission year after year.
At Palmer Trinity School, we work together to provide outstanding education from which students
will reap the benefits far into the future. Our children, including my own daughters, have enjoyed
the experiences inspired by your generosity — all of which reiterate our children as independent,
critically thinking members of society. On behalf of Palmer Trinity School and the Board of Trustees,
thank you for your dedication to PTS and thank you for your financial kindness. We have many
accomplishments to enjoy together as we continue our mission of outstanding education. I am proud
to stand beside you as we watch our students become leaders in this changing and promising world.
Sincerely,
M IC H A E L B A I A MON T E , Chairman, Board of Trustees
