Dear Upper School Parents and Students,
AP Exams have concluded, senior exams begin next week and underclassmen exams are the following week. As we head into our final weeks, please remind your student to study nightly and review tests to prepare for exams and to turn in all work that is due.
O’Neal Summer Fun at O’Neal has over 20 camps scheduled for the summer and there is something to meet the interests of youth from age 3 to 18. To see what is available and to register, go to O’Neal’s website www.ONealSchool.org. It is imperative that campers are registered by May 30th. As a courtesy to O’Neal’s camp instructors, registered campers and their summer schedules, they need to know whether their camp is “a go” depending on the number of campers registered.
As the school year quickly comes to an end, the Parents’ Association is already gearing up for next year. On April 27th the PA elected new officers to serve for the 2010–2011 school year. In addition the PA also voted to adopt Appendix A to the PA Bylaws that created some new and exciting committees. Please be on the lookout for the next PA Newsletter with all the details on the new and current committees. Volunteer opportunities abound! The new officers for 2010–2011 are as follows - PA President: Lindsay Blackwood, Vice President: Tove Doolittle, Treasurer: Gena Smith, Secretary: Susan Pashley and Immediate Past President: Helen Probst Mills. The next and last Parents’ Association meeting of the school year is Tuesday, May 18th at 8:15am in the Bradshaw Hall Dining Commons. All parents are invited.
