I had to include a picture of some of the books that were collected during our 2-week book drive. Through your generous contributions, we were able to donate 6,100 books to Book Harvest. Those books are being put into the hands of children who normally would have no books in their homes. THANK YOU!!! Meanwhile, the basketball season is well underway. We have home games on Tuesday of this week. We hope to get a big crowd out to cheer for our teams. I know that our visitors from Lithuania will want to come to a game. They LOVE basketball! Our swim team and Ultimate Frisbee team are also hard at work practicing and getting ready for their next matches.
DIRECTOR OF PEACE CORPS TO SPEAK ON FRIDAY
Aaron Williams, who has been the director of the Peace Corps since 2009, will speak to the Upper School community Friday morning at 9am in the Center. Parents, alumni, and friends are welcome to attend. We will have coffee and light refreshments available from 8:30-9:00. Mr. Williams served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic (1967-1970). We are very excited about this opportunity for our students to meet Mr. Williams and learn about this important organization that continues to make a difference in the world today.
LITHUANIAN VISITORS
Our visitors from Lithuania (6 students and their teacher chaperone) arrived Saturday night and were met by their host families at the airport. They are getting some rest this weekend and will then attend classes with their hosts for the next 2 weeks. Many activities are being planned during their visit. We hear that they love basketball and hope to make it to a game at Duke or UNC. (and of course CFS!) They all speak excellent English, so I'm sure many new friendships will be formed during their stay.
WEATHER...Hmmmm...?? We'll see what happens. Keep your eye on the website.
