Dear Middle School families,
I would like to thank all the parents and the CPA for making this past week so special for our teachers. The week was full of rainbows and sunshine, and teachers truly felt the appreciation. Middle school had a great time at the final dance of the year, and I thank you for sharing your children with us, it is really fun to see them enjoying their time together outside of class! The next few weeks will be busy, but there is much to look forward to.

Dear Middle School Families,
We are wrapping up an exciting week. Thank you so much to our CPA and parent volunteers for an awesome fiesta luncheon for Middle and Upper School students. Truly everyone looks forward to this, and the level of dedication to making this a community event is appreciated.
To our students, thank you for your hard work on Earth Day, and we hope that you had some fun as well. The 8th grade students that went off campus to help with much needed beautification at the Arc of Southern MD. The staff was so grateful for their help and positive attitudes. We hope to continue this partnership for years to come.
Additionally, students had the opportunity to decorate reusable grocery bags that were given to local farmers markets. We received the following note:
“Thank you very much for the Earth Day reusable tote bags for the farmers markets, they’re definitely appreciated. 60 were handed out today at the North Beach market and 45 will be handed out on Tuesday at the CalvertHealth market. The students’ creativity and talent is remarkable; I’m glad they are able to share their vision.”
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone involved with the Calverton Auction. This was an amazing event last night that exceeded our expectations. We were so honored to have Kaitlyn Croker there to perform, and even more thrilled that she spent Friday afternoon with aspiring musicians at Calverton to talk about her journey and the process she uses to create and share music.
Student Check-ins:
- Middle School Advisors will be having students check their grades every Fridays in advisory and working with them to make sure any missings are being completed and that they are on track to finish the year strong.
- As we head into the last 6.5 weeks of school, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers and/or advisors if there are any questions.
Upcoming:
- May 9, Middle School Dance, 6 – 8pm in the Commons.
