Greetings!
Welcome Mira Salemy to Jr MAPP! We are thrilled to add a sibling to our Camelot Family.
Many thanks to our wonderful guest speakers this week - Michelle Lewis, Troy Livingstone and Trang and Peter Lance.

A huge pat on the back to all who participated in the Spring 2014 Crop Walk. Our school won the Silver Award for raising the second highest amount of donations (in the "School" category). Not to be outdone by our own history, this year's NHS has been on a campaign for students to turn in the service hours they have performed in the community so they can be added to our school-wide count. Here's a message from our NHS:
If we reach our 500 hour goal, the National Honor Society will host a whole-school ice cream or hot chocolate party. If your child has participated in ANY service opportunities during the first semester, please fill out the forms in the Big Hall underneath the Community Service Hours bulletin board or emailamy@camelotacademy.org with the info.
Kudos to Jill Pitino and my sister Donna De Carlo (our off-site IT person) who were a whirlwind of activity pulling together Mid-Semester grades and comments. In a school in which there are almost as many unique schedules as there are students, it is no small undertaking to pin down all of the variables.
That whirlwind of activity will now continue as many of our students work to meet Academic Fair deadlines, our seniors work to meet college deadlines and the end of semester is suddenly just a few weeks away! During this busy time, all students would benefit from extra support at home in the homework and time management process. Please remember to check homework planners/folders each and every night!
