Friday, November 20 at 7:30 p.m. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, tells the story of a young man named Joseph living in the land of Canaan. His father's favorite son, Joseph is perhaps a little spoiled. While the rest of his brothers are forced to wear sheepskin, he struts around in a fabulous rainbow-colored coat, a gift from his adoring father. The rest of Joseph's brothers aren't too pleased with the situation, and when Joseph goes so far as to tell them of a dream he has had in which their stacks of wheat bow down to his stack of wheat, they decide they have finally had enough. Camp Fair Committee Seeking Volunteers
The Camp Fair Committee will hold its first meeting of the year on Thursday, November 12, in the D’Olier Room of the Meeting House at 8:10 a.m. If you are interested in volunteering for the fair please contact Kathryn Shabel or Matt Nierenberg, Director of Parent & Alumni Programs at (856) 914-4416. Accreditation for Growth (AFG) Update The 2009-10 school year is the third year of the seven-year Accreditation for Growth (AFG) cycle. AFG is an intensive process through which we evaluate student performance and plan for growth and improvement. This cycle is characterized by goals in mathematics, world language and critical and ethical thinking. We are currently working on the Mid-Point Review report, which is due to the Middle States Association on December 1. This report will summarize and analyze the progress that has been made thus far in regard to the aforementioned goals, as well as what we’ve learned and how we’ve grown as a community through the AFG process. --Kim Greeley, AFG Coordinator and Upper School Math Teacher MFS Athletics The Foxes varsity teams have been involved in plenty of playoff action already and the next week promises to provide more excitement on the fields, courts and race courses.
