The Sprint to the Finish!

I am often asked at this time of year, "So, are things winding down at Calvert now?" My reply is typically, "Actually, we are not winding down. We are speeding up and sprinting to the finish." We truly want to finish the year in a strong manner; the teachers and staff members are focused to make the final four weeks of school both productive and enjoyable. The calendar is literally full of exciting activities and programs, including the following: Pilot Class Mother's Day Tea; 6th Age, 7th Age, and 7th grade plays; Pilot Class field trip to the Zoo; 8th Age field trip to Union Mills; 7th grade overnight trip to Philadelphia; 10th Age trip to Gettysburg; 8th grade overnight trip to Calleva Outdoor School and day trip to Washington, D.C.; Alumni Weekend and Calvert Day spring fair; 9th and 10th Age Crow-Canary games; Middle School "Battle of the Books," Lower School Spirit Week, and New Parent/Student Orientation and "Moving Up" Day! I encourage current Calvert parents to keep a close eye on the website and on on their e-mails for updates about upcoming events on campus. Also, let's keep our fingers crossed for no rain on Calvert Day on Saturday!
