Final Weekly Update and Thank You!

Dear Parents,


      Friday, May 27th I gave back your child. The same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give them back pounds heavier, inches taller, and months wiser than they were then. 

     Although they would have attained their growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch their personality unfold day by day and marvel at this miracle of development. 

     I give them back a bit reluctantly. Having spent ten months together in the narrow confines of Campus School, we have grown close and we shall always retain a little of each other. We have lived, celebrated, tested, laughed, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. 

     Remember that I shall always be interested in your child and their future endeavors, wherever they go, whatever they do, whoever they become. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, support, and generosity and allowing me the opportunity to be your child’s science teacher this year.

    Have a wonderful summer!

Respectfully,

Mr. Shadow

Busy Week-Banquet, Clean Out, and Spring Fling

Wednesday banquet, Thursday- we will clean out our desks (please send in a few bags if needed with your child), Friday- Spring Fling (the last day to pre-pay for tickets is Tuesday)

Information

• All students, even non-dining students, must be present by 6:50.
• Tickets for the banquet will be sent home next Monday in a sealed envelope.  Please look for this envelope and secure it.  We cannot reissue tickets if they are lost.  The tickets must be handed to the ticket takers at the buffet line in order to receive dinner.  
• Dinner will be served promptly at 6:00 pm.  We strongly recommend you arrive no later than 6:15 pm if you are eating dinner.  
• Guests that are not dining should arrive no later than 6:50 pm.  No tickets are required to enter the ballroom.
• If your child cannot attend for any reason, please email me immediately.  We will need to reorganize our certificate presentation list if this occurs. 
• The University Center does not allow balloons of any kind in their facility.  Because of the height of the ceilings, if a balloon floats to the top of the building and gets caught in the air ducts, the charge is about $1,000 for the cost of a special crane to remove it.  Therefore, please do not bring any kind of balloon with you.  However, flowers or other gifts for your child are welcome.  
• Parking is available in the general lot with a University permit or in the garage for a very low fee (less than $5).  Please advise your guests that may not be familiar with Campus to park in the Zach Curlin garage.
• The banquet will be held on the 3rd floor of the University Center.  
• The program will last no later than 8:15 pm.

Lastly, tables will seat 10 guests.  Because of the large number of guests attending (almost 400), families must share tables.  You may want to partner up with other families ahead of time and plan to sit together.
