Weekly Update for 03/10/2024
Sunday, March 10, 2024
Congratulations to senior Ray Pommerich on his recent acceptances to NC A& T and UNC Wilmington.
Thanks to Ms. Michelle for putting Middle Grades “on the road again” yesterday. She and Mr. Tom led a day-long excursion to Yorktown and Jamestown VA full of adventure, learning and memory-making.
Happy Ramadan to all those who begin observation this week.
Behind the Scenes:
The sweetest moment of the week had to be on Thursday morning when Ms. Anna made a surprise visit to the MAPP students. Squeals of “MS ANNA!” filled the air as they caught sight of her. Everyone is excited that Anna will be returning from maternity leave (gradually!) over the coming weeks.
REMIND:
School is closed on Monday for Faculty Retreat.
SPRING FORWARD - the time has moved ahead an hour! We hope the students will appreciate the one day buffer to the adjustment provided by their day off on Monday.
Apiary Club plans to head to the farm this Wednesday, with pick up from Camelot at 5 PM (weather dependent - 3rd time's a charm?).
Call for Pie!
Pi(e) Day is this Thursday. Please see the email Ms. Wendy sent last Friday and, if you choose, follow this link for details and to sign-up :

Summer:
We asked our teachers to DREAM the ideal summer experiences for our students – a mixture of exploration, following curiosities and unique experiences.
