After
2 years as Site Director Ms Elizabeth has decided to step down as Site Director in order

allow her to focus more on her studies and dream of becoming a

Teacher. We thank her so much for stepping
up to the task 2 years ago and being an instrumental part of Camelots'
opening. As of the 1st of March, we
have
appointed Ms Gohar as the new Site Director and she is very excited to
get to
know all of you.

WE
NEED YOUR PICTURES FOR OUR 2009/10 Yearbook Committee:
Our
wonderful mommy (Mylissa Grieve) has offered to take on the enormous job of this
year's yearbook, and we love her for it!!! We ask that if you have pictures of any past
events or classroom shots please email her @ mylissafitz@sbcglobal.net (This is
if you have a few pictures to share). If you have more that a few, please burn
them onto a disc and give them to her directly, or give them to Ms. Loni to
pass along. The more we receive the better our yearbook will be.
Summer Camp 2010
Summer
camp starts July 5, 2010 and goes through August 27, 2010. Please note that we
are a year round program and will not be pro-rating families who leave for
summer vacation. Everyone is required to pay every month to secure your
child's space for September enrollment. This is so that the staff can work
their full-time schedules and to keep consistency throughout the program.
If you're
a Big Dragon we kindly request that you inform us by the 6th
of March whether you are leaving the last day of school or planning on staying
through to the end of summer camp so we can offer any available spots to our
wait listed parents.
