Week of October 10, 2011

Last Wednesday, the US staff went to Hollow Rock en mass to cheer for our tennis team. When we took this picture of the team, Clara was busy playing a match (which she won!). You can also see Coach John McGovern discussing strategy with some of his players.















Here is Frances helping Xela with her pattern for sewing class. I also wanted you to see the new furniture in the library. Needless to say, the bean bags are a popular site for studying!













SOCCER TEAM UNDEFEATED!
Last Thursday, as reported by the Herald-Sun, the soccer team "capped an undefeated regular season" with a 5-0 win over Burlington Christian Academy. This Thursday, CFS will host our TAC Quarterfinals game at 4:30. We hope for a large and supportive crowd to cheer for this great team! In other sporting events this week, the tennis team will play at Hollow Rock on Monday at 3:30. The volleyball teams both have home games Tuesday afternoon.

PARENT FORUM
Please join us for an open and honest discussion about teen drinking, teen parties, and parent-to-parent communication at our Parent Forum on Wednesday at 7:30pm in the Meeting Hall.

ETHICS BOWL
We are very excited about our upcoming Bioethics Bowl competition at Moorestown Friends School in Moorestown, New Jersey hosted by the Penn Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. (http://www.highschoolbioethics.org/outreach/bioethicsbowl2011.asp) Jamie is taking 7 of his Ethics Bowl students to this event.

PSAT REVIEW
Rich Tapper will offer a FREE PSAT review session on Monday night from 6-8pm in the Upper School Meeting Hall. Last year this event drew upwards of 60 students who uniformly found it to be very helpful and informative. Rich is the LS parent who offers our SAT prep class in the winter for juniors. This is a nice way for students to experience Rich's teaching style and practice. The PSAT will be held in the Meeting Hall on Wednesday at 8am.

CURRICULUM ENHANCEMENT DAY
Our Curriculum Enhancement Day is this Friday. This is a reminder! Each class will be heading out for a curriculum-related experience. I look forward to reporting the results next week.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK! ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL FALL WEATHER.
