Greetings!
I hope you are enjoying the long holiday weekend. As you know, school is closed tomorrow (Monday) in observance of MLK Day.
Tuesday is the first day of Second Semester. We celebrate this new beginning with the Pie Supper held at the Doris Duke Center at Duke Gardens from 5:30-7 PM. Please bring a pie to share – a meat pie, a vegetable pie, a quiche, a dessert – and your appetite! Please label your pie with a description and mark your serving utensils with your name. Also note that the facility does not have a means for us to reheat anything on site. Before you leave please take you dish and utensils with you – we won’t be transporting anything back to school. The school will be providing pizza “pie,” salad and beverages. This is a popular event at which the whole agenda is to socialize and get to know other Camelot families. I look forward to seeing you there.
Both Camelot bands resume practice this week.
Clubs begin two weeks from now – during the first week of February.
Thursday is picture re-takes as well as club and sports pictures.
Thursday night there is a screening of a local movie that my daughter (Rita Glynn - Camelot Class of ’09) is featured. “Teenaged” plays at the Rialto in Raleigh at 7:20 PM. The movie is unique in that is is an autobiographical story of its sixteen year old author and leading man about the changes that occurred in his life after a near fatal car accident.

Special Session was a great success. The ski trip was a hit and teachers Jill Sugg, Jenny Feaster, Matt Wilhelm and Dan Hill get high praise for handling the predictable and the unpredictable with great teamwork and professionalism. Thanks to Lori Hilliard for the planning and thanks to Lori, Celia Battle, Michelle Banal and Krista Moll for running three great days of programming back on campus that included cooking, swimming, museums, guest speakers and movies. Special thanks to parents Heather King, Jonathan Holt and Patrick Byker for their career presentations for the Upper School.
