BEHIND THE SCENES:

It is a very busy time of year! Everyone returned from Spring Break ready to jump in and be productive.  The calendar is full of trips and activities. Jr MAPP set eggs in their incubator.  KinderMAPP is expecting caterpillars on Monday.  Music, arts and performance classes are picking up the cues to be ready for the May 3 Evening of the Arts. Preparation for all of these upcoming festivities sets a joyful backdrop to the daily routines.

 

 

REMIND:

 

Monday, April 8

- All Mid Semester Warnings need to be acknowledged.

- Last day to view Mid Semester info on the Achieve Portal

- The Solar Eclipse peak will happen here around 3:15 PM – an interesting time in the school day!  Weather permitting, we will guide students who are still on campus at that time to safely observe our partial view of the phenomenon. Many classes worked on related activities last week in preparation for the event.

 

 

SPRING DANCE/SOCIAL is Friday, April 19 from 7-9 PM  (Grades 8-12).      (https://www.camelotacademy.org/media/documents/2024/Spring_Social_2024

Tickets and paperwork due by Tuesday, April 16.

Note from Ms. Charlotte:

We are seeking items ($10-$20 range) that we can raffle to the students at the Spring Social. Ideas could be a $10 gift card, a fun beach towel, a candy basket, a small succulent plant, art supplies, a nature-themed plushie, etc. If you wish to donate something, please drop it off with Mr. Logan on the front porch. Thanks for considering it!

 

 

ANNOUNCE:

 

Host Family needed for 2024-25:

We have a male high school student in need of a local host family next school year. If you have a private bedroom with a desk, can provide 3 meals a day (and snacks), transport to/from school and a loving environment please contact Jill@camelotacademy.org . A monthly stipend will be provided.

 

 

NHS and S&LC Student Announcement:

This Wednesday at the 12:00-12:30 (Gold) and 12:30-1:00 (Purple) lunchtimes, the NHS and Service and Leadership Club (S&LC) will be holding an information session.
