September Events Foreshadow Strong Year

Last week was chock full of productive, successful events: Middle School Parents' Night, the Annual Fund Kickoff Dinner, and the 4th Annual New Parents' Barbecue, held at the Head Master's residence on campus. At all three events, the attendees' enthusiasm for the year ahead was evident. Our Annual Fund goal this year is $700,000. These funds will flow directly into the operating budget to help pay for salaries, benefits, energy, books, supplies, professional development, field trips, and food, among other expenditures. At the New Parents' Barbecue on Sunday, we were blessed with beautiful blue skies, delicious food, and a great turnout. I explained to the parents that during the time their children were at Calvert, we would try to provide the best possible pre-secondary education anywhere and to love and care for their children. If we can do those two things well, we will have done a good job! I received an incredible education during my Calvert years, and hopefully we can provide that same top-notch education to the students of today.
