Greetings!
Thank you for all of the helpful retreat feedback. We had a very productive couple of days and we are excited to share all of our plans with you at Back to School Night this Thursday night. I must tell you - we’ve never had a more inspiring group of teachers....what a pleasure they are to work with!
Check out the photo gallery on the school website for great Student Orientation pictures as well as pictures of the process of creating "Merlin" - the horse artwork project that is now complete. Kudos to art teacher Heather Cramer and the Upper School students who turned this into a masterpiece.
The Costa Rica trip is ON! We had a great last minute turn out. Two spots remain for anyone still wishing to travel - contact Celia for more info.
Wednesday- Friday of this week is our annual Scholastic Book Fair. Thanks, in advance, to all of the parent volunteers who will staff this event and to Scott Mitchell and Miss Denise for their leadership. This is a fundraiser for our school and a wonderful way to promote student interest in reading - please check it out!
Back To School Night- a required parent event - is this Thursday. Lower and Middle Grades parents 5:30 - 7:00 PM, Upper School parents 7:30 - 9:00 PM. At this event you will talk to each of your student’s instructors to learn the expectations, plans and goals of the class. Due to limited seating there is not room for students or siblings at this event - no childcare services will be provided and we ask that no children be in attendance as there is not the place or the personnel to provide appropriate supervision. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation and understanding.
