Trinity Academy, an independent nonprofit K–4 elementary school, will host its annual Spark Gala on Thursday, May 14 at The Lyceum in Hartford, bringing together supporters, families, and community leaders for an evening celebrating student innovation, community impact, and opportunity. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will feature cocktails, dinner, a live auction, and a program highlighting the impact of Trinity Academy’s tuition-free, innovation-based education.

The 2026 Spark Gala will honor Sharon Bartlett, a longtime literacy volunteer whose dedication has helped shape generations of young readers, and will feature remarks from Nick Briere, Executive Director of the Connecticut Invention Convention and a key partner in the school’s growing innovation programming.
