Tim Tinnesz Settles In
As Head of School
Tim Tinnesz starts many days at St. Timothy’s on self-appointed trash patrol,
just one of the ways he leads by example.
A
rriving in early July, new
Head of School Tim Tinnesz had six weeks to settle in
before the start of the 20122013 school year.
During that time he planned
to become better acquainted
with faculty and staff, absorb
the rich history of traditions at
St. Timothy’s, lay the groundwork for some innovative initiatives, and get to know parents
through a series of coffees and
personal appointments.
Despite an emergency appendectomy one week into the
job, Tinnesz stayed on task and
on schedule. On the first day of
school in August, he was greeting students in the driveway at
morning drop-off.
School in Gastonia, NC – initially as a social studies teacher
and for the last five years as head
of middle and upper schools.
A colleague at his former
school describes Tinnesz as
highly motivated, highly energetic, meticulous to a fault and
highly analytical. He disputes
none of these descriptions and
adds one of his own. “I talk
too much and I know it,” he
confesses.
But when Tim Tinnesz talks,
his words are purposeful, sincere, and motivational.
“The people in this room are
a phenomenal group of colleagues,” he told teachers at
the year’s first faculty meeting.
“Your commitment to this
school is humbling.”
“The community that we
have here at St. Timothy’s is
unmatched,” he told parents at
a recent gathering of Friends of
St. Timothy’s, reminding them
that his door “is always open for
anyone who would like to drop
in and share thoughts, offer suggestions, or just chat.”
“What’s today?” he regularly
asks students, then joins them
as they respond, loudly and in
unison, “It’s a great day to be a
Titan!”
“I certainly hope and pray… that we are
constantly trying to cultivate and inspire a sense
of awe in our children. That’s a particularly
essential element of an Episcopal education.”

54-year history of St. Timothy’s

Headmaster’s Letter
What an exciting time it is to be a part of
the St. Timothy’s School community! We
have a long history of outstanding academics and wonderful traditions, but we know
that we can’t rest on our laurels. With that in
mind, here is a sampling of some new Titan
traditions we’re working on this year:
Admissions Ambassadors: Over a dozen
STS families have volunteered to serve in
our inaugural class of “Admissions Ambassadors”. They will attend open houses, answer
prospective families’ questions, and invite
neighbors, colleagues and friends to attend
luncheons and information sessions.
Board of Directors and Administrative Retreats: We kicked off the year with
renewed energy and focus at two off-campus
retreats for STS leaders—our administrative
team retreat in August and Board retreat in
September. Both of these events gave STS
leaders a chance to evaluate the state of our
school, set goals and lay out a course for our
future.
Curriculum Mapping: We’ve partnered
with Rubicon-Atlas, one of the top educational service providers in the world, to begin
Tim Tinnesz
a multi-year process of curriculum mapping.
This will help us seamlessly align curriculum,
giving teachers newfound knowledge of what
and how their colleagues are teaching, and offering exciting opportunities for collaboration
and cross-curricular instruction.
Grounds Beautification: A major landscaping project (supported by STS Annual
Fund donations) bordering our new playground was completed in October, while new
topiaries, welcome mats, banners and benches
have been added to campus throughout the
fall. STS Friends formed a “Grounds Beautification” committee with a plan for one or
two family workdays this year, and the Cub
Scouts have adopted five flower beds to plant
and maintain around campus.
Headmaster’s Blog: My monthly “From
the Headmaster’s Desk” blog launched in July.
Be sure to check it out under the “News and
Events” tab at www.sttimothys.org.
Headmaster’s Leadership Program: These
34 seventh- and eighth-graders have lunch
with me every two weeks, where we hear guest
speakers, watch/discuss a variety of TED
Talks, read, discuss, and play games based on
A W ord From the Rector
International Students: For eight weeks
from October through December, STS is
hosting two Guatemalan eighth graders.
They live with STS host families, participate
in all aspects of school life and offer guest lessons in lower school Spanish classes.
Lower School Spanish: We are thrilled to
re-introduce Spanish into our pre-K through
fourth grade curriculum for 2012-2013.
Students meet with Mrs. Lowrance twice per
week and have made great progress in learning the language and customs of Spain and
Latin America.
Middle School Advisory Program:
Twice each month, groups of 10-13 students
meet with a faculty/staff advisor to work on
community-building and promoting inclusion,
peer advocacy and leadership. Advisory meetings blend discussion with activities as students
learn about bullying/cyber bullying, goalsetting, studying/test-taking strategies, public
speaking, group problem solving, and more.

its existence has been measured by the leadership. Father Hale
was the Headmaster when I first came to St. Timothy’s and he
had been the only headmaster. Then there was the period when
Margaret Evans was the Headmaster. We have just come through
a long and good period while Mike Bailey was the headmaster.
The life of the School, like many private, parochial schools, is
marked in persons’ memories by the periods in which a particular
person has been in place as headmaster. This gives rise to hearing
people declare, “Oh, those were the Hale years.” Or they will say,
“That happened during the Margaret Evans years”. Or they will
exclaim, “The Bailey years were a time of great expansion.”
We have now entered a new era, a new chapter, a new stage
in the life and growth of St. Timothy’s. We have the happy
occasion of welcoming Tim Tinnesz to lead St. Timothy’s
through this next stage of life. If the tradition continues of
marking an institution’s chapters by the name of the leader,
then we have now entered the “The Tinnesz Years”. We do well
to thank God for sustaining the life of our wonderful school.
In those thanksgivings we might add prayers for sending us
an enterprising, enthusiastic and energetic educator. Please
remember Tim and his family in your prayers as he begins his
time of directing and caring for St. Timothy’s. I know the next
generation, or two, will look back on The Tinnesz Years with
great affection.
Institutions have a life of their own. Schools, churches,
hospitals, libraries, government offices, and all other manner of
institutions created for a common cause seem to have life spans
parallel to humans. When you think about it, they grow, they
evolve, they change direction, they shrink, and sometimes they
even die. Of course, they are made up of human beings and
sustained by humans, but there is a sense in which the causes
and principles around which institutions are created are bigger
than the men and women who comprise them. I’m not saying
that institutions are more important than the people who make
them up. I’m just observing that institutions have lives of their
own and sometimes the institutions continue even in spite of the
persons directing them! No matter how much good work is done,
or destructive work is done, the work flourishes or declines in a
particular institution.
We have our own institution in St. Timothy’s School. This
good institution began out of a desire of the rector and people
of St. Timothy’s Church to minister to children by providing
them with an education. That education would be provided
in an atmosphere where the Christian Faith is believed and
practiced. Like other institutions, truly young in years when
compared to other schools of its kind, it has grown and developed
much like any living, breathing creature. The short time that

2012
STS Welcomes Guatemalan Exchange Students
¡Bienvenidos, amigos!
St. Timothy’s welcomed two exchange
students from Guatemala in October, Julio
Francisco Penados Betancourt and Maria
Laura Montero Solis. They are spending eight
weeks with STS host families before returning
home on December 14.
During their stay, the students are attending eighth grade classes and “guest teaching”
in Spanish classes.
Their arrival dovetailed perfectly with Spanish teacher Lisa Lowrance’s unit on The Day
of the Dead, a holiday celebrated throughout
Mexico and Central America on November 1.
On that day, families gather to pray for and
remember friends and family members who
have died.
While improving their proficiency in
English is one of the exchange students’ goals,
another is to absorb the American way of life
while imparting a bit of their own modern
culture and Mayan heritage to their hosts and
classmates.
Julio and Laura are participants in Experiencias Interculturales, a cultural exchange
program based in Guatemala City. “We were
first approached by the program coordinators last year,” said Cathy Clement, Director
of Admissions. “When our new headmaster
came onboard last summer, he gave it the
green light and we proceeded with finding

Guatemala is an American Thanksgiving celebration in the mountains of North Carolina
with his hosts’ extended family.
The Sokoloves, Monica and her daughter
Mallory, have a rich history of intercultural
experiences. Monica’s mother was the only
member of her family to emigrate from
Germany and they’ve spent time with many
relatives in Europe.
When Monica was in high school, her family hosted an exchange student from Denmark for a year. Admittedly, “a year is a long
time to host an exchange student!” she said.
So when an eight-week hosting opportunity was offered, she jumped at the chance to
provide Mallory, an STS seventh grader, with
the experience.
When Maria Laura returns to Guatemala
in December, she’ll be very knowledgeable about one popular American activity:
cheerleading. She’s accompanying Mallory,
a member of the Wake Forest All Stars, to
competitions in Raleigh and Atlanta. 
Brian and Misty Howell and their sons Owen,
Carter and Walker were all smiles as they greeted

stellar accomplishments by our studentathletes.
Girls’ Tennis
with a 9-1-1 record. The team’s overall
season record was 10-2-2.
The boys were named TMSC tournament runner-up, losing a hard-fought match
against Magellan Charter, 1-0.
Eighth graders Hans Bierer, Eric Farley
Will Garrabrant, Will Hall, Cameron Ivey,
Spencer Mangum and Graham McKee will
leave a deep void on the team next year.
Avid soccer fan Curtis Mears coached the
team, bringing with him experience as a
YMCA soccer coach and TASL men’s league
player.
Volleyball
The Lady Titans went undefeated in
conference play (10-0), with a season record
of 13-1. For the third consecutive year, the
girls were crowned conference champions as
well as TMSC tournament champions.
The team beat Cary Christian in the final
round, 7-2, to earn the 2012 tournament
championship.
Eighth graders Natalie Rinehard, Lily
Wayne and Emilie Hoke will be missed next
year. Emilie was a three-year member of the
team.
Betsy Gwaltney and Sharon Agresta served
as team coaches. Both are avid tennis players, competing in USTA-sanctioned events,
and passionate about the sport.
Boys’ Soccer
The Titan boys’ soccer team finished in
first place in conference regular season play
The girls’ volleyball team played hard
all season, with noticeable improvement
amongst the young players.
With a conference record of 3-7 and
an overall season record of 7-10, the girls
dropped a tough battle against Cary Christian in the first round of the TMSC tournament.
Eighth graders Tess Colavecchio and Sara
Sanders were great team leaders.
Former Lady Titan volleyball player and
veteran coach Judy Whitley looks forward to
working with the returning players next year,
further honing their individual and team
skills.
Cross Country
The girls’ team finished in first place at six
meets during the regular season, placing an
impressive third among the 19 teams in the

Triangle Jamboree. They captured second
place in the TMSC championship meet,
where sixth grader Katharine Priu was the
top female runner.
The boys’ team rose from a fifth place
finish at the beginning of the season to
strong third place finishes toward the season’s
end. Connor Lane placed first in six regular
season meets and second in the conference
championship meet.
Eighth graders Taylor Currie, Alex Dodds,
Hope Hatfield, Kathryn Konrad, Connor
Lane, Sydney Powell, Lindsey Schneider and
William Wallace will be missed.
Assistant Coach Tim Hart stepped up to
the head coach position in mid-season. He
has previously served as Titan baseball and
basketball coaches. His passion is develop-
ing individual skills, character and good
sportsmanship.
We applaud each and every one of our
dedicated student-athletes and look forward

heir work begins before the first day of
school in August when they provide a
warm welcome and breakfast buffet for new
families. It continues well into the summer
months with a used uniform sale to prepare
for the following school year.
In between, they amass thousands of
volunteer hours in providing support,
enrichment and fundraising activities for the
school.
They are the Friends of St. Timothy’s, an
incomparable group of parents, grandparents
and special friends.
In the month of October alone, Friends:

acclaimed storyteller and mime, to the

Tales for the lower school and Out of the

A Little Comfort Makes a Big Difference
I
Noel Tucker and The Comfort Project
n July of 2008, when Noel Wilkinson
Tucker’s daughter Mary Jordan was four
years old, she had a brain aneurysm and nearly
died. By the grace of God and a highly skilled
neurosurgeon, she survived.
In a bizarre twist of fate, Noel’s six-year-old
son Zachary underwent testing for a potential
brain tumor on the same day as his sister’s
surgery. Mercifully, the MRI showed a cyst,
not a tumor.
And healthy but still needing attention
through these medical crises was Mary Jordan’s
twin brother, Dylan.
“My way of coping at this very difficult time
in our lives,” Tucker explained, “was to do things
for people who were in worse shape than we
were.” She began by passing out Bibles and
stuffed animals at Duke University Hospital
during her daughter’s stay.
During Mary Jordan’s long recovery and
rehabilitation, Tucker made a promise to family
and friends. “When this is all over,” she said,
“we’re going to celebrate life!” She even set a
date for the celebration: October 16, 2008. On
that date they would have a party and everyone
who came would bring a stuffed animal.
Four years and 40,000 stuffed animals later,
The Comfort Project, as Tucker’s idea came to
be known, is still going strong.
It has expanded to include books, DVDs,
toys, board games, coloring books and crayons, word books and pajamas. In an average
month, she distributes 350 stuffed animals and
150 books.
And it has expanded from Duke University
Hospital and WakeMed to include the Ronald

STS Students Learn
In the Classroom
A lot of learning takes places within
the walls of a school. Here’s a look
at what’s been going on in some of
the classrooms at STS this fall.

Raleigh psychiatrist and avid deep sea diver, returned to STS this year to once again enthrall
students with photos from his many international expeditions. Almost as impressive as the
questions they asked was the students’ knowledge of fish and other sea life.
Thrid grade teacher Sharon Mathis uses Smart Boards a lot
in her classroom. They’re large, colorful and interactive, and
actually make learning about subjects and predicates a lot
more entertaining!
In first grade, a lot of time is devoted to writing. Each
month students produce “keepers,” those writing exercises
accompanied by illustrations that a parent just can’t throw
away. One of the year’s first assignments had students writing
about what they want to learn in first grade. Henry Roney

Fifth graders study world geography
in Matt Scheer’s class. Middle school
students compete in a Geography Bee
in December. The winner then takes a
test to qualify for the regional National

grade, students get hands-on experience in

and Outside
of the Classroom
While a lot of learning takes place inside the
classroom, education at St. Timothy’s continues outside of the classroom environment
when special events are hosted on campus
or students depart on field trips.
Second graders spent a day at the Prairie Ridge Ecostation, a division of the North Carolina
Museum of Natural Sciences. The day’s activities fit in beautifully with the end of their
science unit on animal life. Students studied pond life and the life cycle of animals, taking
a nature walk to observe butterflies, birds, frogs and snakes in their natural habitat.
A great resource to St. Timothy’s is the Alice Aycock Poe Center
for Health Education. Eighth graders visited the center
recently for Body Machine, a program on the cardiovascular,
respiratory, endocrine and lymphatic systems. Third graders
will experience the Poe Center’s interactive GermBusters; sixth
graders and seventh graders will also visit the center this year.
Kindergarteners visiting Quail
Ridge Animal Hospital learned

Award-winning author Betty Birney visited campus to share
the secrets of how she brought Humphrey the hamster to life
in her nine-volume series of children’s books. In the process,
she no doubt inspired a few of St. Timothy’s budding young
authors. She was their age, she told them, when she wrote
her first book and decided to be a writer when she grew up.
Seventh graders spent an overnight adventure
at Blue Jay Point that complimented their
environmental science curriculum. They learned
how to test for water quality, which will help
them monitor the two streams they adopted at
Raleigh’s Shelley Lake. They also learned about
macroinvertebrates and microinvertebrates,

The race went on, with over 1,000

and those struggling with cancer, and
the proceeds were donated to Duke

causes some patients to respond to
chemotherapy while others do not.
“Our goal is to determine what genes
are responsible for these differences,”
he said. “From this information,
we can identify new drug combinations that provide greater benefit to
patients.”
By sheer coincidence, Dr. Uronis is

STS Welcomes Three New Teachers
Three new teachers have joined the STS faculty, but only one is a new face on campus.
When her children Mekye and Chelsea enrolled last year, Ayana Barnes became an instant and
frequent presence on campus as a parent volunteer. This year she’s teaching fifth grade literature.
“Literature has always been my passion,” she said. “I’m thrilled to be a part of the St. Timothy’s
family not only as a parent and volunteer, but as a teacher as well!”
Barnes earned a B.A. from Stony Brook University with a double major in psychology and sociology, and was awarded a master’s degree in education from Hofstra University. Before moving to
Raleigh, she taught at an elementary school in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Melynda Foye has a 13-year affiliation with St. Timothy’s through her son David, now a senior
at Cardinal Gibbons, and her daughter Jillian, a seventh grader at STS.
Foye is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point where she earned a B.S.
in engineering management. She was awarded a master’s degree in business administration from
Boston University and obtained her math certification for grades 6-9 through Meredith College.
She is teaching sixth and seventh grade math at STS. In her spare time, she enjoys travel and
photography.
Lisa Lowrance, the only newcomer on campus, earned bachelor’s degrees in both Spanish and
anthropology at Appalachian State University.
In addition to teaching Spanish, she has accumulated over 15 years of natural science education
experience by working at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and Grandfather Mountain.
Before coming to STS, she taught science and Spanish at Hudson Memorial Presbyterian
Church Preschool. For the past 14 years, she has tutored high school students in Spanish.
“I am so happy to be included in the faculty at STS. What a fantastic school!” she said. “I have
a passion for teaching and my goal is to get children excited about learning Spanish while giving
them the knowledge and confidence to put the language to use.” 
St. Timothy’s Teacher Awarded National Board Certification
Teresa Pollock, middle school math teacher, received National Board
Certification for mathematics/early adolescence from the National Board for
Professional Teaching Standards.
National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential that complements a state teaching license.
Certification requires 200-400 hours of work outside the classroom.
Teachers submit a portfolio of classroom practice with samples of student
work and videotapes of teacher instruction. Candidates for certification also
complete a content knowledge test.
Certification encompasses five core propositions:
• Commitment to students and their learning
• Knowledge of subjects taught and how to teach those subjects to students
• Management and monitoring of student learning
• Ability to think systematically about their practice and learn from experience
• Membership in a learning community

Tinnesz, continued from page 1
tion of St. Timothy’s Church about “that
ever-present sense of awe that I’m reminded
of daily in the halls and classrooms at
St. Timothy’s School.”
Math facts are important and students at
STS do learn them, he said, “but I certainly
hope and pray that we do more than math
facts – that we are constantly trying to
cultivate and inspire a sense of awe in our
children. That’s a particularly essential element of an Episcopal education.”
While Tinnesz may talk a lot, his actions
often speak louder than his words. He
believes in leading by example. That’s why
you’ll find him strolling about campus with a
trash picker most mornings, retrieving stray
recyclables and trash.
With a maturity belying his 33 years, Tinnesz is but a decade removed from college.
He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts with
High Honors from the University of Florida
in 2002, where he earned early election to
Phi Beta Kappa and served as valedictorian
of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Two years later, he earned a master’s degree from Georgetown University.
He is married to his high school sweetheart, Karen, and they have three sons: Will,
a five-year-old in pre-kindergarten at STS;
three-year-old Patrick, who is counting
down the days until pre-kindergarten next
year; and one-year-old Sean. 

the Arts fundraiser.
A Week in the Life of Tim Tinnesz
He almost missed his wife’s birthday, but it wasn’t because he forgot.
After a full day of appointments and school activities, the last home volleyball game of the
season, and an off-campus roller skating fundraiser for the STS fine arts program, his wife’s
birthday was almost over by the time he got home that Friday evening.
A typical week in the life of Tim Tinnesz includes standing meetings with faculty and administrative staff, parent meetings as scheduled, budget meetings when indicated, and preparation for monthly board meetings.
A number of initiatives he introduced this fall (see Headmaster’s Letter on page 2) have added
even more to an already crowded schedule, yet he rarely misses an event on campus.
Headmaster, continued from page 2
He handed out certificates of participation at the Summer Math breakfast. He did the same
at an ice cream party for students who participated in the Summer Reading program.
Middle School Social Contracts: After student-led brainstorming sessions on
the principles of good citizenship, student
delegates were charged with developing each
grade’s “Social Contract”—a list of key principles that all students will abide by this year.
The contracts, outlined in my October blog,
were presented and discussed at a signing
ceremony.
He joined kindergarteners as they watched a Raleigh Police Department K-9 officer demonstrate his dog’s skills. He pulled up a chair alongside second graders viewing a scuba diver’s
incredible underwater slide show. He found out what Titan spirit is truly all about at a middle
school pep assembly. He joined lower school students as visiting children’s author Betty
Birney described how she created her Humphrey series of books.
President’s Volunteer Service Award: We
now serve as a certifying organization for the
President’s Volunteer Service Award. STS
students in grades 5-8 who complete qualifying hours of community service are eligible to
receive national recognition at our ceremonies
in May.
This is only a glimpse of the exciting new
traditions we’re starting this year at St. Timothy’s
School. Please don’t hesitate to contact me
with any questions or suggestions. As you can
see, it’s a great day to be a Titan! 
When there’s not an event already scheduled, he’s been known to create one – such as reading The Principal From the Black Lagoon to a first grade class.
With a calendar that doesn’t offer many empty slots, one might think that Tim Tinnesz would
restrict his activities to those directly associated with his job as the new headmaster at STS.
One would be wrong.
He is in the process of joining the Rotary Club. He is immersed in the nine-month Leadership
Raleigh program of the local Chamber of Commerce. He has accepted Georgetown University’s
invitation to join the Alumni Admissions Program, interviewing local high school seniors on
behalf of his alma mater.
He recently spoke on Student Leadership Groups: Strategies for Success at the NCAIS Biennial
Teacher Conference in Winston-Salem. He even accompanied Raleigh police on a nighttime
“ridealong” traversing city streets.
It’s a daunting schedule for a veteran headmaster let alone a new one, but Tinnesz never
complains.
Well, almost never complains. “I didn’t get to put my boys to bed for three nights in a row
last week,” he lamented.

Dear Friends of St. Timothy’s School,
$61,690
With sincere thanks to the St. Timothy’s School community, it is my pleasure to acknowledge the generous contributions from so many people and organizations. St. Timothy’s School
is grateful for those of you who believe in our mission and support it with enthusiasm.
The hundreds of volunteers who give countless hours both in front and behind the scenes
are the backbone of our special school. The parents, grandfriends, friends, family members and
community partners that contribute to St. Timothy’s on a daily basis are truly irreplaceable. It
takes a village and we thank you so very much!
Our annual Founders’ Day event was moved from May to February this past year and by the
turnout, we are glad we had an “Endless Summer” in February! North Ridge Country Club
was bustling with people ready to spend a night in support of the Founders’ Day project, a
renovated playground. The night was a huge friend raising success that netted $66,000 for our
wonderful school!
Gifts to the Annual Fund, Capital Campaign and Mike Bailey Archway to Excellence contribute to the school’s overall financial health and sustainability. Your generosity and participation in these funds fill important needs and are appreciated each and every day. Most recently,
Annual Fund dollars are providing iPads for the Media Center as well as landscaping along the
fence of the renovated playground. These are just two examples of your Annual Fund dollars
making a difference. With your participation in annual giving, imagine the unlimited possibilities!
The future of St. Timothy’s School is bright as we continue to focus on providing the atmosphere of educational excellence upon which St. Timothy’s School was founded. The successes
of our programs, as well as their ongoing improvement to the highest degree of innovation,
depend on your support. I trust that we can count on your involvement and generosity again
this year!
It’s a great day to be a Titan!

The Annual Fund: It Makes a Difference
Through the Annual Fund, independent schools can provide excellence because parents, past parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends
collectively donate proportionate to their means. Each year, donors
are asked to “fill the gap” between the tuition charged and the true
cost of education for every child at the school.
If you have any questions on how to participate and make
a difference in the everyday lives of our students, please call
Heather Daughtridge in the Development Office at 919791-3053. 
Why does supporting the St. Timothy’s
School Annual Fund make a difference?
The Annual Fund is the cornerstone
of our yearly fundraising efforts.
The program starts early in the
fall and continues with pledge
payments due by June 30th
of the following year. Annual
Fund gifts impact areas such
as campus and buildings,
libraries and technology, financial aid, fine and performing arts, physical education,
health and fitness, faculty and
staff advancement, and special
projects that utilize unrestricted
gift giving.
Parents are asked to give special consideration to the various levels of giving and
respond generously. The goal is 100% participation by St. Timothy’s
families, Board of Directors and Faculty/Staff. As of September 14,
Faculty/Staff and the Board of Directors achieved 100% participation in
the 2012-2013 Annual Fund! This achievement by all roles is critical in obtaining matching funds from corporations and foundations.
These organizations regard parental support percentages as a benchmark for their own gifts.
