School counselors Christen Timmons and Jessi Morgan share the simple, practical skills that help children move from overwhelmed to capable—and why the small stuff matters long before the big stuff hits. Christen, a lower school counselor, and Jessi, who supports middle and upper school students, bring two different perspectives on the same urgent question: how do we help kids handle stress without rescuing them from every hard moment? Their answers are refreshingly specific, from noticing new patterns in sleep, appetite, and school function to teaching children to name what they feel and use coping tools that actually work.

New to Trinity? These are the 10 things every parent wishes someone had told them on day one - from the Charger and Blackbaud to uniforms, lunch visits, birthday blessings, and the school traditions that make Trinity feel like home. If you are trying to figure out what matters most and where to find answers, Charger Chats is here to help.

You’ll discover:

• Why the weekly Charger email should become your first stop for dates, information, and updates by division
• How Blackbaud works as a window into assignments, schedules, grades, and calendar planning
• Where to look for used uniforms, what the Charger Store offers, and how to save money before buying new
• What parents can expect around lunch visits, birthday blessings, Spirit Week, Grandparents Day, and the Blessing of the Pets

Welcome to the first episode of Charger Chats! We’re kicking things off with a conversation with Trinity School of Midland’s Head of School, Shelby Hammer.

Shelby shares her perspective on the exciting construction happening across campus, what it’s really like to make difficult decisions as a school leader, and the vision behind Trinity’s future. She also talks about what makes Trinity such a special place, and, perhaps most importantly, the incredible team of teachers who make it all possible.
