Dear Families,

It may be snowing outside, but we’re already looking ahead to sunny days and unforgettable summer adventures! We’re thrilled to announce that our 2025 Summer Program lineup is now live. With options for ages 4–18, there’s something for everyone—whether your child loves nature, art, adventure, or academics.

Explore all the exciting details and secure your spot here: https://camelotacademy.jumbula.com/

 

We’re also putting the finishing touches on a few more camps and will share those details with you as soon as they’re ready. Don’t wait too long—spaces are limited!

 

Here’s to warmer days and an amazing summer!

 

On Saturday, February 8 we have an OPEN HOUSE from 10 AM - Noon.

In addition to providing an opportunity for prospective families to visit with our faculty, this is also a great time for our enrolled families!

-         This is an opportunity to explore other divisions of the school, especially for current 4th and 7th grade families poised to move to Middle and Upper School next year. 8^th grade families can also explore the many creative paths of our high school program.

-         Our Summer Programs will also be showcased.

Please invite your friends who are interested in our school and feel free to accompany them!

 

Message from NHS- Alex Morgan:

As you know, NHS held our Beaded Items Sale before break in December. We'd like to thank all of you for your contributions to this cause, as we partnered with Zimbabwean artist Charles Masenda who sells his art in Durban, South Africa. We raised a total of $702! All of the proceeds went to Charles to help him pay for his family's food, education, and medicine for his mother. We'd also like to shout-out Peyton Harrell for his help with the Beaded Items Sale! Although he is not in NHS, he volunteered his time and effort, and we thank him for that.

 

 

I hope you have a great week!

 

Best,

Thelma
