Greetings!
Lots of great things to celebrate this week!
Welcome to our newest student – ninth grader William Radcliffe.
Congratulations to senior Viola Samadi on her acceptance to Meredith College. Congratulations to senior Jung Yoon on his acceptance to Drew University (NJ) and Guilford College with an $18,000 Henry G Hood Scholarship.
Each member of the senior class now has at least one college acceptance in hand…more to come. What a wonderful milestone to reach!
In other great news, our Camelot community has raised close to $800 to support the Haiti relief fund. Enthusiasm is so high that students and teachers have asked to extend the bake sale another week with the goal of reaching $1000 by Friday. Many, many thanks to all who have baked and all who have contributed to this effort. The focus on helping others has put an important element of selflessness into the school vibe.
Scott, Paige and Coach Dan worked the summer camp fair at University Mall yesterday. By all reports they had more interest in our programming than ever – and the brochures were handed out to back that up! Please be sure that you get your choice of programming by completing your registration soon. All of the info is on our web site or stop by the office if you’d rather have a brochure copy.
Tomorrow is the final re-enrollment deadline for 2010-11. It appears that we are poised to break our own records with several classes already full. If you have not yet turned in your re-enrollment paperwork, please do so tomorrow.
In addition, Wendy asked me to include the following reminders:
Reminder to Parents of Seniors -
Thursday, March 4th the Graduation Invitation Order is due to Wendy in the office. (This includes both invitations and name cards)
Reminder to Early Re-Enrollment Families -
Monday, March 1st the final tuition payment is due.
Reminder for Annual Re-Enrollment Families -
Monday, March 1st Re-enrollment Fees, Applicable Set-Up Fees and, for those choosing Option 2, tuition fees are due.
I hope you have a great week.
Best,
Thelma

Weekly Update 2/14/10
Greetings!
I hope that you are enjoying the weekend and all that it brought with it – snow, valentines and a day off from school! A reminder, school is closed on Monday (tomorrow) in observance of President’s Day.
It was great to see so many people in conference. It seemed to be a particularly productive round of meetings. For those who attended, we reviewed all of the new summer programs being offered at Camelot this year – including several one week programs aimed at 12-18 year olds – many carrying the option to earn honor’s credit. Our website will be updated with all of the info in the next day or two and I’ll send a separate email to alert you of such. The ads and listings about the program are out, so enrollment is officially open.
Clubs are in full swing this week. Last call for enrollment in girls’ basketball, guitar club and Tuesday yearbook before we have to cancel due to insufficient enrollment. If you are interested, please register by Tuesday, as final decisions must be made.
Speaking of clubs – Miss Jenny’s club is in need of coupons for Joanne Fabrics and AC Moore. Please forward her any you might come across.
Module 6 Honor Roll will be announced by Wednesday and we’ll plan something special for those making both Module 5 and Module 6 Honor Roll with an Honor Roll Day this Friday.
The next leg of the Haitian relief fundraising is underway – the coin drive. Each homeroom is set up with a collection box. Please round up your loose change and add to our efforts.
We have another Open House this week – once a year we run an open house in the late afternoon and such will be the case this Thursday from 3:30-5:00 PM. Please tell your friends or stop by yourself if you are looking for a chance to explore another division of our school.
Our Basketball Knights play their tournament next weekend. Players should stay tuned for an email with the final practice and game schedule. We are looking into scheduling gym time for a practice or two now that the tournament has been moved a few days later.
The Upcoming Week:
Monday – School closed in observance of President’s Day
Tuesday-Module 7 begins
Wednesday – online lunch orders by 11:59 PM
Thursday – Open House 3:30-5:00 PM
Friday – Honor Roll Day
Have a great week.

Weekly Update 2/7/10
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.
