BEHIND THE SCENES:

Our Celebrate Nature theme has had many highlights and last Monday’s solar eclipse was certainly one of them!  It was touching to witness not just the event but the genuine AWE and EXCITEMENT in viewers of all ages spread out over the school grounds.

 

Meanwhile, the school year is quickly drawing to a close.   Last week the orders for the yearbook and the school T-shirts were placed.  Perimeter Project building and many other hands-on capstone experiences are coming to fruition - exhilarating and poignant at the same time.

 

 

REMIND:

 

EVENING of the ARTS - a parent-required event - is FRIDAY, May 3. 

-         ALL MAPP and MIDDLE GRADES students - and most UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS (including the Class of ‘24 and the initiation ceremony for National Honor Society) are featured. 

-         Weather permitting the event will take place on the Camelot Lawn.

-         Rain location is the nearby Hayti Heritage Center

-         Performance 6:00-8 PM

-         If your student has an unavoidable conflict on that date please email Katie@camelotacademy.org this week - this info has much impact on the rehearsal process.

An optional Middle Grades camp-out at the farm on Friday, May 10 is in the works. Be on the lookout for an email with all the details this week.

 

 

Wellness Update:

We continue to have relatively high numbers of students and staff sick with a variety of generalized woes - fever, body aches, headache, sore throat, loss of voice, GI…..  We appreciate your cooperation in keeping students home from school for AT LEAST 24 hours after the resolution of fever or GI distress.

 

 

I hope you have a great week!

 

Best,
