COURTYARD “DEAR EDITOR” From the importance of recycling to thoughts on the current political climate, 11 students from Ms. Reid’s English class found their letters to the editor published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The letters crafted coherent arguments and used rhetorical strategies to support them. “The main thing with the letter is finding something that they care enough about to write in support of it,” said Ms. Reid. “That’s my favorite part of the assignment — seeing their opinions come to life in a public forum.”
TITAN’S CROSSING The American Society of Civil Engineers held a contest last winter at the Science Museum of Virginia, welcoming schools from across the state. Trinity’s Science Society built “Titan’s Crossing,” a bridge out of popsicle sticks and glue, over three Sundays in January. In their first time at the event, the Science Society placed 3rd!
