Camelot Update 5/19/13


Thank you, Camelot Family, for your support and turnout at our many events this past week. The Sports Dinner, Middle Grades Jamestown trip, Bands at Broad St. Cafe, Artsplosure and the 5 K Race were all a success due to your support. Thanks to Coach Carlos, Ms. Krista, Ms. Michelle, Mr. Scott and Mr. Glenn and the many parents who made these events possible. 

Among the things that make our school work so well is the participation of our families in the activities of our young people. At no time is this more evident and important than at our school-wide graduation ceremony which, as you know, is this Saturday, May 25.  By including even our youngest members in this celebration, a tone is set for the values and purpose of a Camelot education.  It is a reminder to us all of the potential for great things that comes from such an assembly of talent and dedication. The Class of 2013 promises to leave a lasting legacy as we mark their send off and the 30th anniversary of our school at our gathering next weekend. I look forward to sharing it all with you.
