Greetings!
I hope you are doing well. Lots of important things to share - please read this carefully!
School IS open tomorrow and our day will start with a Morning Meeting recognition of Veteran's Day - thanks to the efforts of students Chris Radcliffe and Olivia Arges.
Here's a note from senior Olivia Arges:
The NHS is sponsoring a care package drive for soldiers overseas in honor of Veteran's Day. This was a great success last year and we are excited about doing it again! All items can be placed in the labeled boxes in the Big Hall and Upstairs. There is a list of items to donate posted on the Camelot website here:

We will be collecting donations starting Veterans Day until the end of November. There will be a collections box at the Academic Fair. Thank You for taking time to honor our Veterans!
Also, we raised $304.87 for UNICEF. Thanks to everyone for their help.
