Greetings!
Congratulations to senior David Hillsman on his acceptance to Guilford College with a $48,000 Presidential Award.
Thank you to all of our families for the great turnout at the Pie Supper...and thanks for the great cooking, as well!
The list of Module 6 Honor Roll and Merit Award students will be sent in a separate email this week.
Remember to sign up for your after school clubs of choice! The “official” club kickoff is this week!
We are thrilled to welcome Glenn Mehrbach (web site www.pizzadreams.com) as our Jazz Group instructor, Heather Cramer as our art instructor and Susie Kless as our drama instructor. In addition, the new semester brings with it many other schedule enhancements - Dan Hill is conducting a rock band, Celia Battle has expanded her Spanish instruction to include the Lower School classrooms, Paige Passavant has added the kindergarten class to her computer instruction and has added health classes for the 7th/8th graders and Spanish I has been divided into two groups, allowing for an advanced curriculum for our eager and able students! In addition, Upper School students have just embarked on a new set of Seventh Period elective classes. We are pleased and proud to be able to introduce so many programs in response to the talents and interests of our student body.
Next week (February 14 and 15) are family conferences. Lower School and Middle Grades families should sign up for a conference on the calendar posted on the classroom doors. Upper School students with whom the school requests a conference have already been contacted. If you were not contacted but would like a conference, please see Wendy. Please note that SCHOOL IS CLOSED on both of these days - Optional Care if available for Lower School students by advance registration.
