Welcome Trinity’s newest team members By Nicole Fash, Director of Marketing and Communications

Join us in welcoming our newest faculty and staff members to the Trinity School community. Please enjoy learning more about these passionate and creative individuals.

Val Boone joins Team Trinity as a Media Specialist for the Early Elementary Division and works alongside Meredith Burris and Julie Griffith. A state-certified librarian, Val was a media specialist at The Academy of Scholars in Decatur prior to coming to Trinity. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Geography from Kennesaw State University and is on track to finish a Master of Information with a concentration in School Librarianship from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in December. We asked Val, why did you want to work at Trinity? Her response: “The values and mission of Trinity really speak to me. I love that we focus on building character and leadership in our kids. I really look forward to integrating the play-based learning into my own lessons. Trinity values make school an exciting place to look forward to for kids and teachers!”

Kyra Campbell joins us as a Third Grade Associate Teacher and works alongside Lead Teacher Matt Scott. Kyra has student teaching experience in Third Grade and previously served as a lead after-school teacher at Kid’s World Learning Center in Statesboro, Georgia. She has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Georgia Southern University. We asked Kyra, why did you want to work in education? Her response: “I really enjoy working with kids and helping them learn new things. I enjoy the excitement they experience when students feel their success.”

Sarah Cascone, who has been an Extended Programs and substitute teacher at Trinity since February, now serves in the newly created Substitute Teacher and Field Trip Coordinator position. Prior to joining the Trinity team, Sarah was a public relations coordinator at Atlanta-based M-Squared Public Relations, a personal stylist at Fab’rik, and a front office administrator at the Athens YMCA. She earned a master’s degree in Public Relations from the University of Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations from the University of Mississippi. We asked Sarah, why did you want to work at Trinity? Her response: “I’ve known that Trinity is a special place for a while—three of my cousins attended Trinity and my aunt is a substitute teacher—but once I actually stepped on campus as a potential new hire, I immediately saw that the faculty and staff who work at Trinity School love where they work and are proud to be a part of this community. Experiencing that made me excited at the thought of working with such a special group of people who care deeply about every aspect of the child and his or her development. Here at Trinity, the faculty and staff really do strive to cherish childhood, and I could sense that in the first few minutes I was on campus.”
