Camelot Update 3/18/12

Greetings!

The faculty and I are heading to our last Open House of the year this afternoon between 2 and 4 PM.  Now is the time to send your friends - and be sure Mr Scott knows who you referred so that you receive the referral credit on your account for those who enroll!

We have another week of bountiful good news.

The seniors are celebrating the following acceptances:

Sarah Chetty - Elon University with a 18K Presidential Scholarship
Eva Sutton - UNC-Asheville
Tate Arges - UNC-Charlotte
and Ryan Siebens - the Honors Program at Guilford.

In addition, sophomore Lyn Mattox was accepted to Cornell University's Summer College.

Congratulations, also, to Module 7 Merit Award student Ray Palma and to Module 7 Honor Roll students:  Ryan Siebens, Will Cunningham, Sarah Chetty, Meg Rusconi-Warner, Liz Reeder, William Radcliffe, Josh Pettway-Hinton, Bri Oleson, Max Fried, Zachariah Claypole White, Josh Stallings, Rachel Roush, Brian Powell, Elisabeth Parker, Lyn Mattox, Olivia Arges, Tyler Thigpen, Zack Milkereit, Fiona Castorina, Alex Berro, Tessa Young, Sophie Reiter, Danny Sutton, Rachel Milkereit, David Mc Shea and Richard Carruthers.

Way to go, Knights!  Our Ultimate Frisbee Knights won the season opener versus Fletcher Academy.

Kudos to our Legos Robotics team who were invited to present at Creekside Elementary's Science Festival this week.  From all accounts they did a great job!

Our faculty retreat was hugely productive and we have a slate of exciting things to reveal about our plans.  What a great opportunity it was to have everyone who teaches K-12 together in one room to reflect on our practice, our goals and our dreams.  Look for a separate email with lots of info....coming soon.

Onwards to this week!

The office will be busy preparing Mid-Semester Grades to be sent home in the mail.  A week from today the Yosemite tripdeparts, Wednesday, March 28 I take a group to Davidson College (still space for 10th/11th graders- contact Lynne at lynne@camelotacademy.org) and on Friday, March 30 the basketball team will be traveling to a Bobcats game to celebrate their season.  It will then be time for Spring Break (April 2-9) before returning for the action-packed conclusion of the school year.

I hope that you have a great week.
