Weekly Update for 03/17/2024
Sunday, March 17, 2024
Greetings and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I hope your week has provided some time to enjoy the beautiful weather.
Congratulations to these seniors on their recent college acceptances:
- Rohan George on his acceptance to UNC Charlotte and American University
- Katie Castelo on her acceptance to Elon University
HUGE THANKS to Reed, Irfan, Tom, Andre, Michelle, Sarah, Katie, Raleigh and the FULL TEAM for a FUN and memorable Pi(e) Day. Thanks to all the parents who sent pies of all kinds! Many students made a point of saying “Thank you” for the fun experience - it seems the whole-school time together was just what we all needed!
BEHIND THE SCENES:
Last week some of our Middle Grades students went to volunteer at Meals on Wheels. The students bagged dog food, wrote “Happy Spring” cards and organized the pantry. The outing was organized by junior Donald Hite as part of his NHS/Service Club work. We received this message from the Meals on Wheels coordinator afterwards - “The students were some of the most well-behaved, polite, and hard-working volunteers I've seen since my time at MOWD.”
Way to go, Camelot!
