What is the Annual Appeal and why is it important?
The Annual Appeal is a yearly fundraising campaign that supports day to day educa on at Trinity High School. Through the gen-
erosity of our alumni, parents and friends, we have been able to change the lives of our students through oﬀerings of ﬁnancial
aid, classroom and technology updates, campus ministry programs, and athle c and ﬁne arts programs.

When you make a gi to the Annual Appeal, you are making a diﬀerence in a very real way. This year alone 186 students re-
ceived over $400,000 in aid. Your gi ensures our ability to assist families and students who require ﬁnancial aid to con nue
their educa on at Trinity.

To make a dona on to the 2012-2013 Annual Appeal, you may mail your gi to Trinity High School, c/o Advancement Oﬃce, or
donate online. Thank you for your support!

junior year at Trinity, but the Founda on con nued. Three years later, Lauren’s brother Spencer, also a junior, lost his life in an
automobile accident and his name was added to the Founda on. The Founda on is managed by Trinity High School. For more
informa on, please contact Janet Quigley, Director of Advancement.

Trinity High School is about to celebrate 50 years
of stellar educa on!

Please help us commemorate this important event with the honor it deserves.
50th Anniversary Planning Commi ee mee ngs have been scheduled for:
Wednesday, October 24th Wednesday, November 14th
Your presence would be greatly appreciated!

(Con nued from page 1)

Next spring we will launch our ﬁrst capital campaign as we celebrate Trinity’s 50th anniversary. As you know, several aspects
of our buildings and campus need to be renovated and modernized. The master plan that was completed last year itemizes
and priori zes the capital projects that are needed. The recently completed feasibility study by our fundraising consultant
has iden ﬁed the extent to which our Trinity community is willing to support such major undertakings. A er reviewing vari-
ous op ons cited in the la er report, our Board of Directors has approved a mul -year campaign commencing next spring.
First priority: replace all external window walls so that we can secure the thermal envelope in our building. Second priority:
install a centralized hea ng and cooling system throughout our facility. Over the next ﬁve years we also intend to build an
endowment restricted to need-based scholarships for deserving families.

We are very proud of the fact that during the current school year over $400,000 was allocated to help fund a Trinity educa-
on for one of every three students (186 students). We can and must do be er to provide the transforma ve learning ex-
perience that Trinity aﬀords as more and more families struggle through the uncertain economic mes in which we live. We
have yet to deny enrollment to a single family for ﬁnancial reasons and we intend to keep that record intact going forward.
But to do so, we will need all the support we can get from you and our other cons tuencies. Together, we will keep Trinity
as a shining beacon among secondary school op ons for families living in central Pennsylvania.

Sincerely,

T i La C
Attends Latin Convention
The 2011-2012 school year was Trinity’s second me to send delegates to the Pennsylvania Junior Classical League La n Con-
ven on. Thirteen La n students a ended the three-day long event in May 2012. Delegates took part in academic tes ng,
oratory compe ons, spor ng events, school spirit compe ons, and submi ed projects they had completed in prepara on
for the conven on. A total of almost six hundred La n students from all corners of Pennsylvania competed at Penn State Uni-
versity. In addi on to thirty individual awards, Trinity High School was awarded the second-place Division II trophy, ﬁrst place
for our chapter shirt design, second place in volleyball, ﬁrst place in watercolor pain ngs, and ﬁrst place for our chapter scrap-
book. Congratula ons to Iszy Abiuso, Connor Bailey, Karl Dickey, Dianne Howard, Rachel Jackson, Megan Kelly, Bailey King,
John Leigh, Rebecca McCullough, Mark Panas, Vince Spinelli, Dominic Turo, and Liz Vinarski.

Our 2012 delega on was conﬁdent in returning to Conven on for a second me and we competed in even more events than
our ﬁrst year. It wasn’t as easy as it sounded; the whole year leading up to Conven on was full of ght schedules and long
prepara on by every delegate. Liz Vinarski produced a music video which required her to not only write a song and a script
but also to direct her ﬁrst ﬁlm. Megan Kelly, a delegate who would be the ﬁrst to admit that she was not an ar st, pulled her
hair out trying to construct a mosaic. John Leigh constructed a scale model of an an-
cient catapult. Karl Dickey memorized a piece of La n prose for a drama c interpre-
ta on recita on. Not only did Trinity’s PAJCL group work hard, but we also said
goodbye to our one senior Conven on delegate, Vince Spinelli, who was with the
La n Club from its beginnings and helped it grow into the La n-loving establishment
it is today with over thirty members! With another year of Conven on under our
belt, Trinity remembers the good mes and can’t wait for the 2013 Conven on!

Wreaths for a Reason…THS students will once again be invited to par cipate in the Wreaths for a Reason project. This service
ac vity beneﬁts the Shalom House. Shalom House is a place for homeless women and children in Harrisburg while they work at
resolving the causes of homelessness. Shalom House also has a temporary housing program for homeless women veterans.
"Wreaths for a Reason" is a fundraiser and community awareness event that oﬀers groups and individuals the opportunity to
create their own one-of-a-kind holiday or any theme wreath in support of ending homelessness in the greater Harrisburg ar-
ea. Shalom House will auc on oﬀ all completed wreaths and ALL proceeds raised will go directly to suppor ng the women and
children at the shelter. This year we are looking at THS being the host site for student made wreaths. The tenta ve date for
this fundraiser will be October 27th in the cafeteria. Students will receive more info on this project in their religion class. Ms.
Albright and Mrs. Fejfar will host a wreath making party for students a er school. Date will be announced. With your help last
year we raised over $4800 for Shalom House . Shalom House will supply the 12" wire wreath form and the student supplies the
crea vity and THEIR OWN MATERIALS including a glue gun. Students may work solo or with friends. Use your imagina on and
have fun!

J Thank you for suppor ng and encouraging your son/daughter in their service experiences throughout the year! J

Service/Ac vity Fair

THS recently held a Service/Ac vity Fair in the cafeteria for all of our Freshman and new students. Several of our THS seniors
volunteered to represent service groups in which they have been involved. The Freshman and new students had the opportuni-
ty to talk with the service representa ves about their par cular service experiences. We hope this Fair helped all of our new
members of THS to learn more about the many service opportuni es available to them throughout the year. Thanks to seniors
Emily Williams, Molly Brennan, Ruth Tegene, Dominick Arp, Melissa Leandri, Will Edwards, Marissa Zimmerman, Leigha Wentz,
Alex Swade and junior Jonathan Behnke. Their show of spirit got many students to visit the service displays and ﬁnd out more-
about our ‘Rocks in Mo on service program.

Senior Religion Classes

Our seniors have begun the school year delving into the study of Church and Church History. In order for the students to be er
appreciate the early Church and the Chris an communi es that we read about in the New Testament, Mrs. Fejfar’s students
are forming their own Church community groups. Students will use a Facebook model for the project. They will research their
chosen apostle and one of the early Chris an communi es. Next they will create a blog between the Church leaders and some-
one interested in becoming a member of the Church community. Each Church group will share an oral presenta on with their
classmates. Throughout the year students will gather with their Church communi es for prayer, study, and faith sharing.

TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL
CAMP HILL, PA
2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
What is Asbestos?
Mineral found in rock forma ons. When separated from rock, it becomes a ﬂuﬀy ﬁbrous material that has many uses.

Types?
Chryso le (most common, Arnosite and Crocidolite

How is Asbestos Used?

Construc on Industry: About 2/3 of all asbestos produced is used for cement, rooﬁng, plas cs, insula on and ﬂoor le

Automo ve Industry: Widely used as fric on material in brake and clutch linings-also as undercoa ng to corrosion.

Tex le Industry: Fireproof clothing and staﬀ’s equipment, ﬁre-resistant curtains for theaters and schools.

Other uses: Asbestos is used to strengthen metals exposed to heat, such as, in the nose cones of space vehicles.

Health Hazards of Asbestos

If air containing asbestos dust is inhaled, the small sharp ﬁbers may work their way into the lung ssue and remain embedded for life—a constant source of irrita on.

Various Factors: 1. Intensity of asbestos dust
2. Individual suscep bility
3. Fiber size and variety
4. Presence of other pollutants (cigare e smoke)

Asbestos-Related Disease

Asbestos: A disease in which lungs are irritated by inhaled asbestos dust—characterized by ﬁbro c changes in the lung ssue and scarring in the thickening of the
lung wall. Breathing becomes diﬃcult, thus causing a strain on the heart. Usually appears 10-20 years a er exposure.

Mesothelioma: A cancer of the chest or abdominal lining, which is rare except in people exposed to asbestos. Usually fatal within one year of the ﬁrst symptom.

Cancer: Of respiratory system-is much more common in asbestos workers than in the general public. There is also a higher risk of cancer of the diges ve system.

How Individuals Can Avoid Disturbing Asbestos Containing Material

Every school from K thru 12 must have their buildings inspected by state cer ﬁed inspectors. This informa on is compiled in a booklet called the Management
Plan. Each school has their Management Plan on ﬁle in the administra on oﬃce and is available for review for those who desire to see it. Ge ng acquainted
with your plan is the best way to avoid disturbing asbestos in your school.

How to Recognize and Report Damage

By using the proper sec on of the Management Plan that describes type, amount, loca on and condi on of asbestos at the me of the report, you can recognize
damaged areas by comparing to the original plans. Visual inspec on is the most important way to recognize damaged material.

• Repor ng damage: any material containing asbestos that has become broken or damaged and may be releasing ﬁbers to the air should be reported to man-
agement as soon as possible . In turn, management will no fy the asbestos coordinator or the diocese of Harrisburg.

1. Prepare Management Plan for each school.
2. Inspect all buildings under AHERA law.
3. Provide two-hour awareness training for all custodial and maintenance staﬀ.
4. Provide and train emergency response team.

Thank you to you and your students for the support for our Jamaica mission. We were able to give Father Roland $5000 to help
support the 36 children in the Our Lady of Hope Children’s Home. He receives minimal assistance from the government in Ja-
maica and depends on people like us to help. We took down food items as
well: peanut bu er (the favorite food), pudding mixes, tuna, pancake mix, dry
milk and other dry food stuﬀs. They are always so grateful.
We will be collec ng again this year in May. The items we most need are food
stuﬀs, school supplies, some clothing but speciﬁc kinds ( underwear, white T-
shirts, dark socks, etc.) Homerooms have helped by suppor ng a speciﬁc child
for $150.
Our own students have gained so much from going. They have learned the
true meaning of it is be er to give than to receive but, in reality, we receive so
much more than we give.
Thank you in the name of Father and the children.
