Greetings!
I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful Fall Break and Thanksgiving Holiday. Thanks to everyone for making the Academic Fair and Thanksgiving Feast such a success.
Here’s a preview of the upcoming week.
On Monday we welcome Celia Battle to our Spanish classroom. We look forward to all that she will bring to our school.
Monday reminder to Upper School students - this is the final deadline for Module 4 AR tests!
Also on Monday and Wednesday the girls and boys have basketball practice. On Friday the boys have their first game at home (Lakewood YMCA) at 3:30 PM versus Emerson Waldorf.
On Tuesday morning Shawn Giffin-Dean (mother of Kriea) will be coming to Morning Meeting to kick off our school-wide holiday card writing effort for the residents of the Murdoch Center. This will be part of our community service work for the year.
On Thursday night at 5:30 the soccer team has their awards ceremony at the Pizza Inn on North Duke Street (3906 North Duke St, 27704). This event is a fundraiser for our athletic programs and will feature the Soccer Knights waiting tables! Soccer players need to report to “work” at 4:30 - we hope everyone will turn out for dinner to support the team!
Upcoming events.
Monday, December 3 - Spring Semester paperwork is due.
On Wednesday, December 5 and Wednesday, December 12, Shawn Giffin-Dean will be running an after-school holiday craft club for Lower and Middle Grade students to make gifts for their families. In addition to after school fees, each student needs to bring $5.00 for supplies. At the conclusion of the two sessions each child will have two unique craft items wrapped for giving. Attendance is limited to 20 students - please watch for the flyer your child will be bringing home to sign up.
Enjoy the last few hours of your break and have a great week!
Best,
Thelma
