Weekly Update 4/26/09

Greetings!

Congratulations to
senior Hayes Perry on his acceptance to UNC-Wilmington.

Welcome parent
Denise Sadler as a Lower School classroom aide.

This Friday (May 1) is our much anticipated
EVENING OF THE ARTS! Students in all grades will be participating - the K and Jr MAPP students will be singing and dancing a Spanish song, the Sr MAPP students have a short play, some Middle and Upper School students will be showing work from their drama studies. In addition, the two bands, the dance club and assorted talent show acts from Kindergarten through 12th grade will be featured. Student artwork from the year will be on display in the lobby. The show starts promptly at 7 PM at the Hayti Heritage Center- parking can be a bit competitive so you should plan to arrive no later than 6:45 PM. Directions to the Hayti Center can be found here: http://www.hayti.org/directions/.

During the morning on Friday all students who will be performing will be taken to the Hayti Center for a dress rehearsal. Students will be back on campus by lunch time. Camelot will provide all needed transportation.
