Weekly Update 10/25/09

Greetings!

Welcome to the
newest member of our Camelot Family - Sr MAPP student John Henry Baker.

As many of you know,
seventh grader Grace Kirkpatrick is spending the semester in New York City due to her dad’s work assignment. The family has turned this time into a marvelous learning adventure that Grace captures beautifully in her blog.

ILLNESS UPDATE: As of this hour I have heard from several families. Many students who were ill last week are now better. A few from the Upper School are still sick. I haven’t yet been told of any new Upper School illness and so far I have only one report of illness in the Lower School and one on faculty (Krista). If the information I receive later in the day changes this picture substantially I will send another email but otherwise it looks like all divisions of the school will be open tomorrow as usual.
