Week of November 1, 2010

Happy Halloween! Once again, my photos are having a mind of their own. I will tell you about our Halloween celebration in the Upper School, and you can see if you can find some of the people I am talking about. We had a pumpkin carving contest by advisee group. Dylan's group won Funniest and Best Teacher Look-alike (see below). Elise's group took Best in Show with their daisy pumpkin (also below). We had three costume contests: Individual students, Individual staff members, and Groups. Above, you can see Asante dressed as Ken and teaching a French class. Somewhere below, you will find Ken dressed as Asante, talking to Hannah.
Here is Jon auditioning for the American idol judges. Miles and Samantha are doing a skit from Glee. Emma and Nick are auditioning for American Idol. Tasha, Emily, Anna, Zoe, Molly, and Mariah were an adorable group of nerds.





Jonas was amazing on his stilts. Julia and Alison were our trusty mc's. Here is a group of staff members: Dave, Ken, Elise, Allison, and Susan. Somehow, Daniel and his alter ego, Philip, got separated from the Halloween pix by the soccer players. You don't want to miss them.









































As the fall sports season comes to an end, I have included some great soccer shots that were taken by parent Brian Whittier. The following students were named to all-conference in the following sports: X-Country--Alexander K and Alex G; Soccer--Isaac and Dani; Tennis--Ellie; and Volleyball--Zoe. Congratulations to all of our fall teams on great seasons!

LYSISTRATA
The Advanced Acting class invites you to an evening of laughter and fellowship as they present the classic Greek comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes. There will be an open dress rehearsal on Wednesday, November 3rd and two performances on November 4th and 6th at 7:30pm in the Meeting Hall. Due to language and themes, this play is rates PG-14.

FALL SYMPOSIUM
We are still looking for parents to lead workshops at our fall symposium on Monday, November 15th. Our theme is Current Events. We are looking for people who can talk about the environment, food politics, the implications of this November's election results, the economy, and current US wars. If you can present a workshop on one of these topics and are available on the morning of November 15th, please contact me at chuff@cfsnc.org.

LAST DAY OF FALL TERM IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11.
WE HAVE A STAFF WORKDAY ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12. NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS ON THE 12th.
