Greetings!
Happy Halloween!
Thanks to all of the parents who turned out to help make our Fall Festival a great time for our young people. Special thanks to teacher Ms Denise who took the lead on bringing it all together and to teacher Ms Lori who orchestrated the Science House experience with the help of our Upper School students.
As you may have heard from your student, art teacher Brittain Peck is leaving his teaching position with us to take on a full time graphic design position. He will be greatly missed and we are very appreciative of all of the creativity and care he has added to our school over the past year. We are thrilled to welcome Margaret Hennessey as our new art teacher. Margaret brings a background in many kinds of art as well as diverse teaching experience to our program. Ms Margaret will take over all of Brittain’s classes and clubs as of NEXT week (week of November 8). This week there will be no art clubs (yearbook, digital design or art club) and all of these activities will run a make up session in January.
Coming this week….
Monday-
Early Bird Discount for completion and return of Second Semester paperwork.
Tuesday –
Basketball practice begins.
Wednesday –
Mid-Semester grades mailed to Middle and Upper School families.
And coming soon….
Mike is looking for parent service help on the next two weekends for building and grounds work. After Thanksgiving Break he will be looking for leaf raking help. Sign up for either activity by sending him an email at mike@camelotacademy.org.
Sunday, November 14, 2-4 PM. Our last Open House for 2010 – please tell your friends!
Have a great day and a safe evening!
Best,
Thelma

Camelot Update 10-10-10
Greetings! Happy 10-10-10!
Thanks to everyone for the productive round of family conferences. I hope that you found them to be as valuable as the teachers and I did!
We are now entering a very productive and eventful time of year. Please dust off your school calendar and make a note of all that is to come over the next few weeks!
Clubs start this week and as of right now the following clubs are subject to cancellation due to insufficient enrollment: Knitting, The Grind, Embroidery, Engage and Egg-ceptional Leadership. Wendy will update our rosters on Monday to reflect a few additional folks and then will directly contact affected families to see if they wish to select an alternate activity or not.
SAT class will meet ALL FIVE DAYS this week and will have the next practice test on Saturday, October 23. All students should have registered for the November SAT and provided me with a copy of the registration confirmation.
All 10th and 11th graders should meet at Camelot this coming Saturday, October 16 by 8:30 AM for the PSAT administration. Pick up is at 11:30 AM. Please bring several number 2 pencils and a calculator.
Also next Saturday (October 16) we have our first Open House of the year for prospective families from 1-3 PM. This event provides our current families with the following parent service opportunities:
Parent Service Opp #1 – late afternoon building cleaning – every day this week (contact Mike Glynn at mike@camelotacademy.org to schedule)
Parent Service Opp #2 – Send me an email by Wednesday at 5 PM with names, address, email address and phone number of local families you know who would like to be invited to our open house and future school events. You’ll earn one hour of parent service for every 5 complete contacts provided.
Parent Service Opp #3 – Receive one hour of parent service credit for each family who attends Open House and gives your name as the referral.
(Remember – all Camelot families receive $400 credit for each newly enrolled student who credits your family as the referral source!)
Also, this week:
Tuesday, 1 PM – college rep visit – Queens University (Charlotte)
Wednesday, 1 PM – college rep visit – Highpoint University
Upcoming:
Tuesday, October 19 – School picture day
I hope that you have a great week!
