Week of March 28, 2011...almost Spring Break!

CABARET...CABARET...CABARET!!! Amazing talent. Delicious, yummy desserts. No important basketball games. Take your family, grab your friends, and head out to the Center at 7:30pm Saturday night. You will not regret it. Above and below, you can see the Quaker N'Oats preparing their songs. Meanwhile, Emma, Miles, and Chris are rehearsing for Bye Bye Birdie.














I happened to catch
Susan's Foundations of Literature class working on peer editing their papers this morning. Each student answered a list of questions for the paper they read and then shared their feedback with the author of that paper.








JUNIOR LEADERSHIP DURHAM
Calling all freshmen! Junior Leadership Durham is a program designed to provide high school sophomores with knowledge of the Durham community and to assist them in developing leadership skills, recognizing that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Through active participation, students interact with business, community and government leaders to gain a broader knowledge and awareness of Durham. Applications for next year's program are due by March 31. If interested, go to www.juniorleadershipdurham.org for more information.

FRESHMAN/SOPHOMORE COLLEGE NIGHT
A reminder that Elise is offering a question and answer information-sharing evening for the parents of freshmen and sophomores who are interested in hearing about ways that younger students can begin to look ahead and think about early preparation for the college process. This program will begin at 7:30pm and end promptly at 8:30pm.

GRANDPARENTS DAY AND SPRING BREAK
Our annual day to welcome grandparents and grandfriends is this Friday. Grandparents of Upper School students are invited to attend classes with their grandchildren. Grandparents always have something interesting to add to class discussions. Following a noon dismissal on Friday, we will begin our Spring Break. We will return to school on Monday, April 11th. On that day, we will welcome 14 French students and former CFS college counselor Connie Toverud. We will hit the ground running on that day, so I want to wish everyone a relaxing and restful break.
