I hope that you and your family are enjoying our winter wonderland. I’ll send another email later today with an update on our school schedule for tomorrow.
As you might have guessed, our Open House that was scheduled for yesterday was canceled due to the weather. We have rescheduled for this coming Saturday, February 6. Please remember to send your friends and plan to drop by yourself if you’d like to check out different classrooms at our school.
Ski trip pictures are on the website – check them out!

Students and faculty are hard a work with plans to assist the Haiti relief efforts. This week students are sponsoring a “pay to break the dress code” event. Students pay $1.00 for each allowable dress code violation. Students were given details in Morning Meeting on Friday and reminder flyers have been posted at school. Also, next Saturday, Camelot music teacher Dan Raimi is organizing a concert at Duke University’s Baldwin Auditorium (East Campus) from 7-8:30 PM. The concert will feature a NY Haitian musician coming in just for this event.
