Greetings! We’ve emerged from a successful orientation and are eager to get down to the business of classes tomorrow morning. Thanks to all of the teachers for putting together such a remarkable orientation program. Special thanks to all of the parents who helped to unload the luggage of the travelers in the rain on Friday night - way to go with teamwork!
Regular school hours start this week with before and after school programming, including study hall. Please note that next Monday, September 7, we are closed for Labor Day.
Auditions for the music performance class and club will run all of this week. Auditions will be held at lunch and afterschool and everyone who wishes to participate - including those who did last year - need to audition. Students must sign up in advance (sheets are posted in the Big Hall by the stage (Dan’s classroom). Auditions will be for 10 minutes and are available to Upper and Middle Grades students with some degree of expertise on an instrument or with vocals. Students should come with their instrument tuned and ready to play a 1-2 minute piece. Vocalists should bring sheet music and Mr. Glenn will accompany you. Following the prepared piece there will be a brief interview. Audition results will be announced on Tuesday, September 8. Students who audition will be provided an information sheet with details about class schedule, fees and performance dates.
The soccer team has its first game this Friday (September 4) at our home field (Twin Lakes Park) at 4:30 PM. The game is versus Clover Garden School. Monday practice will be at Forest Hills Park and Wednesday practice will be at Twin Lakes. Directions are on the school website. Camelot will transport to all practices and the game. Parents should pick up from the fields.
In honor of the first soccer game Friday is also the first Spirit Day of the year. Students are encouraged to wear our school colors - purple and gold - in a creative manner. Senior Molly Williams will share ideas on the subject in Morning Meeting this week.
Have a great week!
Best,
Thelma
