Weekly Update 1/11/09

Greetings!

Congrats to the Camelot Knights for their win versus YT Christian on Friday. The team has a heavy schedule this week. We are proud of their hard work and dedication and most appreciative of the commitment from their parents.

THANK YOU, again, for the outpouring of support and sympathy for Celia and her family. I have just had a call from her husband and Celia will stay on in Chicago a while longer. I have communicated options regarding the Costa Rica trip and the Spanish final exams and expect to hear back from her in the next day or so with how she wants to proceed. I will then send a separate email to Middle and Upper School families with this information. As all of us who have lost a loved one know, the sudden lull in activity after the funeral can be particularly hard. Celia is with her mother and extended family right now and I know we all hope that this will provide her the support and love needed to get through this very difficult time.
