Camelot Update 2014-11-16

Greetings!

What an exciting week we had!  Many of the students completed their Academic Fair projects and you could feel the relief and satisfaction in the air by dismissal time on Friday afternoon.

We inadvertently left two students off the Module 2 Honor Roll last week.  Congratulations to Fiona Castorina and Chase Lewis!

Announcement from NHS:
At Academic Fair this Friday, NHS will be collecting cans and money to build a “Canstruction” sculpture next semester.  All the food from this sculpture will go to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.  Please cansider making a cantribution of either money or cans. There will be a large red bucket where cans can be put and and a Cantribution collection box at the Convention Center on Friday. Collections will cantinue through December and early January.  Any cantributions are greatly appreciated!

The Search Institute is providing a no-cost webinar on Nurturing Strong Family Relationships During the Teenage Years.  It will be onWednesday November 19 from 1-2pm.  Even if you can’t watch during that time, you will receive a link to listen to it later if you register. Webinar participants will gain new insights about nurturing relationships in families along with some practical ideas for what they can do in their own families or families they work with to be more intentional about nurturing family relationships.  For more information or to register, go to https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/300000000010762652;jsessionid=abcSgCd6Wo8U2dYR3h1Mu
