Night for the Cure 134/365

Tonight was Night for the Cure - an event held at Montverde Academy to support the American Cancer Society. The event is all night long and members of each team take turns walking the track which is surrounded by white luminaries in memory and in honor of those who have fought cancer. As the American Cancer Society says "because cancer never sleeps."

Here are some of the luminaries before they were lit up.











The student band did a great job keeping the crowds entertained!













The lighting of the luminaries was accompanied with a silent lap in honor of those who have lost their battle with cancer.

The students formed teams and raised money for the American Cancer Society throughout the night by selling food, drinks and goods. They had a great time doing it. 

Even our younger students had a great time!

They were gearing up for even more fun at and craziness as they night wore on - but it was all in good fun.







Congrats to all the students and a big thanks to the staff and faculty that worked so hard to make this a great event!

After care fun 134/365

Today was also Yearbook day in the Lower School. I love how intently she is examining her book.



Fun with my after care friends.

Yearbooks are out! 134/365

 After a long year of work - the yearbooks are finally ready to hand out! Charles has really done a great job and he's ready to get them out!



The kids were really excited to see them.



They were handed out after school in the Student Center where all the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshman gathered. (The Juniors had a college info assembly to attend). It was controlled chaos and quite efficient! Members of the Yearbook Club did most of the work and they did a great job.







I loved seeing them stop as soon as they got the book and start flipping through it.













They quickly found chairs and couches and settled down to really get into it.

















Even as they walked back to the dorms - they were still paging through the book!

Cupcakes and Court 133/365

Just another day in the Lower School! :)

As part of the book fair fun this week there was a special reading of "If You Give A Cat A Cupcake" during assembly. To continue the fun - cupcakes were served at lunch and they were a hit!!!

























To reinforce a lesson they read earlier this week, the 4th graders decided to act out the story and put on a trial. How fun!

Magnolias and books 132/365

The magnolias are finally blooming!
