Hello Families,
Our teachers and staff are so excited to be back online in teacher directed sessions with students. It is fun to watch students across the grades interacting with each other and their teachers. You are probably getting a kick out of it at home as well!
We look forward to seeing many of you at the virtual PTA meeting on Thursday at 7:15pm.
Thank you,
Aileen Flaherty, Principal
Matt Salerno, Assistant Principal

Ways to Participate:
It's easy to participate in Poem in Your Pocket Day from a safe distance. Here are some ideas for how you might get involved:
- Carry a poem around in your pocket. Surprise someone by pulling it out and reading it. (Maybe you will share it online with your class on Thursday?)
- Select a poem and share it on social media using the hashtag #pocketpoem.
- Record a video of yourself reading a poem, then share it with others.
- Email a poem to your friends, family, neighbors, or local government leaders.
- Schedule a video chat and read a poem to your loved ones.
- Read a poem out loud from your porch, window, backyard or outdoor space.
- Hang poems on trees, mailboxes, etc. for others to enjoy.
We love seeing photos of you while we are apart. Send photos to us at this link: Camelot Photos
By sending us photos, you are giving us permission to post them in our News You Choose, or on Twitter. While we will not be able to post all of them, we will enjoy looking at them!
We're happy to see Ben and Nick hanging out at Camelot, Hallie showing her dog around the school grounds, Wyatt working hard on his schoolwork, and Ian working with his teacher and classmates online!
