Greetings!
Congratulations to seventh graders Grace Kirkpatrick and Lance Wilkes for qualifying for state level recognition in the Talent Identification Program.
Thank you to parent Lisa Warner for putting spring flowers in our planters. The porch becomes an especially lovely spot at this time of year and the new flowers add a colorful touch.
Kudos to ninth grader Liz Reeder for spearheading the planning of the semi-formal dance. She had wonderful assistance from Josh Pettway-Hinton, Alec Porter, Jung Yoon, Elisabeth Parker, Meg Rusconi-Warner, Zachariah Claypole White, Josh Stallings, Caroline MacNair, Rachel Roush, Grace Kirkpatrick and Amy Hillsman. Special thanks to teacher Lori Hilliard for shopping assistance and also to teachers Matt Wilhelm, Jill Sugg (and hubby Palmer), Jenny Feaster, Dan Hill and Celia Battle who generously gave of their Friday night by helping to chaperone. The gathering was a huge success and it was great to see our wonderful young people have such fun together and looking so lovely in their fine clothes!
The Ultimate Frisbee team won their first game! Their second game is “home” (Forest Hills Park) on Tuesday at 4 PM. Go Frisbee Knights!
Exciting news! The international trip for next school year will be to Spain. We look forward to giving everyone an opportunity to use their Spanish knowledge in mid-January 2011. Read all about it on our trip web site:

The trip is open to students in grades 5-12 (in the 2010-11 school year). A parent or guardian must accompany students in the 5th and 6th grades. There is an early sign up discount (by June 15) as well as an extended payment plan. Please contact Ms Celia with any questions.
This Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning all students in grades 2-11 will take a nationally standardized test (ERB) per the requirements of the State of NC. For students in grade 2 this is a practice run as national norms are not available. For all other students the results become part of the permanent record. Our students have spent the past several weeks preparing and are ready to show their stuff. We ask that families make an extra effort to see that students come to school on these days well rested, on time and having had breakfast. If your student is sick on one of these days, please keep him/her home and we’ll schedule a make up testing time.
-Kindergarten and first grade students will be on a field trip with Ms Paige and Mr. Mike each of these mornings.
-Seniors are to be working on their graduation speeches on these mornings and will report as follows: Wednesday at 11 AM – to the Hayti Center to work with Ms Roni on Evening of the Arts; Thursday and Friday – arrive at Camelot at 12:30 PM.
Please be sure to save the evening of Friday, May 7 to attend the Evening of the Arts. Students will share their work from music, band, dance and drama classes as well as bedazzle us with their many talents as part of the talent show. This is a true highlight of the school year held at the beautiful Hayti Center from 7-9 PM. More details to follow.
Have a great week!
Best,
Thelma
