Camelot Update 8/21/11

Greetings!
 
This is the first official Sunday Weekly Update of 2011-12! We are poised to have a wonderful year - we are especially excited about the plans and learning opportunities that this year holds.
 
We welcome to our office staff Wendy Lynne Creel (aka Lynne).  Lynne is married to our new Upper School Spanish teacher, Paul, and we are thrilled to have her wonderful help with our ever-burgeoning administrative tasks.  Please be sure to introduce yourself next time you are in the office.
 
Lunch orders – everyone needs to set up an account with the Lunchworks Company- old accounts have been cleared. Those who had a credit balance will have it restored shortly.  Accounts may be set up now, orders may be placed as of tomorrow (Monday) and all orders for the week of August 29 (the first week of lunch service) are due by this Wednesday at 10 PM.

Order lunch:

Lunch Directions:
 
Monday is the deadline for Middle and Upper School students to sign up for the October DC trip.  We plan to build a great deal of our fall curriculum with ties to this outing.  Don’t miss this opportunity for your student to see DC as never before – including college visits.  

Itinerary and Sign up here:
 
Soccer practice starts this Tuesday.  Students should meet at Old Chapel Hill St Park from 4:00-5:30 PM.  Krista will be there to help everyone get going and meet Coach Jared.  Still want to join?  Guys and girls in grades 6-12 should contact Krista atKrista@camelotacademy.org to join the team!  (Note – the next practice is this Thursday at Forest Hills Park.)
 
Music Performance students will be excited to learn that credit classes will be offered DURING the school day this year- as an elective.  These students will also have the opportunity to rotate through the other elective offerings.  An after school option may also be offered, based on interest.  Also in the works, renting a space around the corner from the school for music rehearsals – equipment will be up and ready all the time!  Interested musicians and singers should be prepared to audition on Thursday or Friday of this week.  Students may sign up for a time on Wednesday.  Singers should bring sheet music in the right key.  A cappella singing and singing to pre-recorded tracks is discouraged.  All instruments are welcome and an audition is NOT a commitment to participate – we need to take stock of the interest and offer a plan.
 
Please remember the special hours and activities during orientation this week.  I look forward to seeing all of you who have yet to attend Parent Orientation on Monday night at 5:30 PM.
 
Best,
 
Thelma
