The Trinity School Family

Hi!

I am Carol Nelson, the Director of The Trinity School. I am a retired public school teacher with 30 years experience teaching children. I am married to Charles and have two grown children, Charlie (tenor extraordinaire) and Nena Claire (paramedic supreme). I am a singer, clarinetist, avid flower lover, and famous (I wish!) for my cross stitching, sewing, and crocheting. To say I have a skein or two of yarn would be an understatement!!!  Working at The Trinity School has been such a blessing for me. I LOVE TTS!!

Terrific Twos

My husband Joe and I moved to Cartersville Thanksgiving of ‘19 and I found Trinity Preschool soon afterwards. I am so thankful to be on Trinity’s staff teaching our outstanding two-year-olds! We are busy learning to be kind friends, taking turns and sharing along with the rigor of learning our colors, shapes, numbers, days of the week, and pledge! Our most important lessons center around how much God loves us!

I am Miss Ana, and this is my second year teaching one of the wonderful 3-year-old classes. I love being a part of the kids’ lives and watching them grow throughout the year. We have lots of fun with our arts and crafts, letters, numbers, and of course, learning to share! In my free time, I enjoy reading books, watching movies, and singing for my church.
