Week of November 19, 2012 (gobble, gobble)

 Here is a great picture (thanks to Brian Whittier) of Jamie and his Ethics Bowl team...actually two teams. Jamie's teams competed in a regional Ethics Bowl competition this past weekend at UNC-CH. Although our students did a great job, they lost in the quarter final match to East Chapel Hill High who went on to win the tournament. Our students had beat ECHH earlier in the day during Round Robin play. Congratulations to Jamie and his students!
 As I hope you have heard, our Fall Symposium was a rousing success! Here, you can see Philip Gary introducing our three visiting ambassadors. Each ambassador gave a 20-minute introduction on Understanding North Korea, The Middle East, and Emerging Africa. Students then split into three Q&A groups with each ambassador.
 Here are a group of our students meeting with Ambassador John Sylvester about North Korea.
 The International Potluck was delicious! Thanks to all who contributed to this great meal.
As you might imagine, Kaira Ba, Jonathan Henderson's Senegalese band, was a big hit. They did manage to get everyone up and dancing.

RISERS NIGHT
On Thursday, November 29, we will welcome Middle School 4th year students and their parents for our Upper School Risers Night. We look forward to an evening full of information sharing. The 4th years will go through an abbreviated class schedule while parents will meet with some staff members in the Meeting Hall. We look forward to welcoming the 4th years and their parents to the Upper School.
