Weekly Update 1/6/08

Greetings and Happy New Year! I hope this finds you well and rested and ready for the excitement of Second Semester. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday for two days of Special Session.

Welcome to the newest member of our Camelot Family - Middle Grades student Josh Stallings. Also, welcome back to Upper School student Will Cunningham who spent the fall semester with his family on the West Coast.

Congratulations to senior Terran Daye on his acceptance to Campbell University.

Congratulations to all of our students who worked on our two service projects in December - the can drive for the NC Food Bank and the holiday cards for the Murdoch Center. Students collected more
than 1000 pounds of food resulting in the equivalent of 862 meals donated to the Food Bank. In addition, all 550 hand made holiday cards were delivered to the Murdoch Center by Kriea Giffin-Dean and her mom Shawn. Thanks to all of the students and teachers for the extraordinary effort involved in reaching these goals.

Thank you, thank you to all of the families for the outreach of holiday gifts and goodies to all of us who call Camelot "home." Your thoughtfulness and generosity is greatly appreciated and sent everyone off for break in high spirits.
