Greetings!
Although we had a four-day week, we packed five days' worth of activity into it! It truly amazes me how many things we can figure out, tweak and improve in such a short time. It is a brisk pace for all, but you can sense a rhythm of things falling into place. Our students have been wonderful and our faculty is full of superstars who have worked long (and hot!) hours with excellence and enthusiasm.
This week will be our first five-day week - here is some of what is planned:
Monday -
- Deadline for Juniors and Seniors to sign up for on-campus SAT class
- Tufts University (MA) Visit
Tuesday -
- Rhodes College (TN) Visit
Wednesday -
- Deadline for lunch orders for next week
Thursday -
- Patriot Day
- Middlebury College (VT) Visit
Friday -
- Upper School students will do service activities in the afternoon - in observance of Patriot Day (Thursday, September 11). Parents - please watch your email on Monday for more info.
- Home Soccer Game at 4:30 PM. Middle and Upper School fans needing transport please email by 5 PM Thursday - Parents pick up at the field at 5:30 PM.

On the Going Forward Survey that we conducted this summer, many families expressed an interest in a running. We thought we would let you know that Bull City Running Co., a local running store, is hosting a 5-week run-focused training program for kids ages Pre-K through 8th Grade on Sunday evenings at 4pm at Northgate Park. The next program starts on September 28th. Information and Registration can be found here (http://www.bullcityrunning. com/events/kids-run-durham/).
I look forward to seeing you this week - and enjoying some fall-like weather!
