Greetings Upper School Parents:
As we head into the final week of classes for the Winter Trimester, followed by winter exams and the start of Immersion 2011, here are a couple reminders of activities in the Upper School.
The exam schedule for 15-17 February is posted on the upper school documents page at: http://www.mvschool.com/academics/upperschool/overview/upper-school-documents
Next Thursday, 17 February, the Red Cross Club is sponsoring a “red out” dance, from 8-11:PM in the Alumni Black Box Theatre. Admission is $5 per student, which is discounted to $3 if a student comes dressed in red. Mrs. Kemper, Red Cross Sponsor, is coordinating the event and our faculty chaperones, including me!
Each student is expected to accomplish 20-hours of approved community service for each year of attendance in the upper school. The listing of approved local community service organizations, with contact names and phone numbers, is available on the announcements section of the upper school home page: http://www.mvschool.com/academics/upperschool/overview
Since community service is a graduation requirement, Seniors are aware of the 11 February deadline for completing individual community service requirements; afterwards, open campus and other spring privileges will be jeopardized.
Following exams, we have a four-day President’s Day Weekend, providing an excellent opportunity to visit colleges, complete community service hours, prepare for Immersion, or catch up on end-of-term rest.
Due to last week’s snow days, the MVS Amnesty International chapter and I have decided to defer the upper school viewing of the documentary Pray the Devil Back To Hell until the start of the Spring Trimester in April.
I have posted a fresh selection of “Articles of Interest” on my MVS Blog, which can be viewed at: http://wagnersmvsblog.blogspot.com/ As before, I welcome your comments and feedback.
With sincere regards,
Sam Wagner
Head of Upper School
