Weekly Newsletter

This is the last newsletter of the school year. We will continue to send information via email as we wrap up the school year and begin Summer Programs and HS Summer School. Additionally, we have already begun preparing information and forms needed as your students prepare for the 2013-2014 school year. Watch for special email communications announcing when forms and lists are available in the Parents section of the school website such as reading and school supply lists, medical forms, volunteer information and more.

The faculty, staff, students and administration appreciate all that Canterbury volunteers do throughout the school year. Please join us at the following event - celebrating you:

Middle School Volunteer Appreciation Night
Wednesday, May 29, from 7 to 7:30 p.m.
Middle School Gym
(Join us for the Art Walk through the Visual Arts Exhibit and stay for the Middle School Spring Concert.)

Congratulations to second grade families for winning the grade level competition for the Canterbury Fund participation challenge: 96 percent of their families made contributions this year.

Parents from second grade are welcome to join the class in an ice cream celebration at Mr. Hancock's on Friday, May 31, from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. A flyer regarding this celebration should have come home in your child's book bag.

It is not too late to be included, donations received by June 15 will be included in the 2012-2013 brochure that will be printed this summer.

Ms. Burnett's advisory has organized a Pet Supply Drive to benefit area shelters. Please bring in old towels, gently used pet toys, collars and leashes and pet treats. Items may be dropped off in MS Room 109 by May 28. The students and the shelter pets appreciate your help.

Indiana University recently released great news for two of our alumni, Eric Wertenberger and Devin Powell. The two teamed up to create a real-time interactive platform for sports fans, Fandio.fm. The 2009 Canterbury grads are one of two teams that have won IU Bloomington's BEST Competition. According to the announcement, each start-up company, founded by students from the Kelley School of Business and the School of Informatics and Computing, receives a $100,000 investment.
