Also, please remember that senior Amber Rogers is spear-heading a new toy collection for Toys for Tots.  She has placed a blue plastic bin at the front of the Big Hall and collections will be taken through this Friday.
It is also the season for field trips!  Kindergarten and MAPP classes are off to the Carolina Theatre tomorrow morning, AP English students have their annual Barnes and Noble outing on Wednesday and German students have an outing on Thursday.
Middle Grades students begin semester exams this Wednesday.  An exam schedule was sent home as were extensive review sheets for Language Arts and Science.  Review sheets for other subjects will come home this week.  (Upper School exams are AFTER the Winter Break.)
Mike continues to seek leaf raking help over the next two weekends.  Please contact him directly atmike@camelotacademy.org.
Please mark your calendars for the performance of our musical groups at Southpoint Mall on Sunday, December 18 from 2-3:30 PM.  They will be in the area in front of Nordstrom's near the Center Court with Santa Claus!
