Greetings!
Congratulations to our Mathcounts team for a strong showing at
Saturday's regional competition. It was a great effort by team members Elisabeth Parker, Brian Powell, Justice Lanphear, and Sean MacNair. Ms. Anne sent me an email thrilled with the progress our school made as a whole as well as the accomplishments of each of the individual team members.
Also, congratulations to our basketball Knights. Not only did they win Friday’s game versus Hopewell Academy but they played a game in which every member scored! This coming week is the last week of regular games before the tournament.
Family conferences are this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. THERE WILL BE NO CLASSES ON THESE DAYS. All Lower and Middle School families must schedule a conference during this time period. If you have not already done so, please see your child’s classroom teacher first thing on Monday morning to sign up for a time. Upper School conferences are by request – contact Wendy for an appointment time. PLEASE NOTE: Sr. MAPP, Middle Grades and Upper School students are required to attend their conference.
Student efforts to raise money for Haiti relief have been hugely successful. They have raised $120 in just 3 days with the “dress code violation fee.” Due to the days lost to snow the dress code fundraiser will continue this Monday and Tuesday. When we return from conferences and President’s weekend there will be a coin drive and then a bake sale. More info on that to follow next week.
Speaking of snow days….if you ordered lunch for your student last Monday or Tuesday the amount of the meal was credited back to your account. Orders were NOT transferred to this week.
