The Final Edition of the 2013-2014 Excalibur Times
- Details
The final edition of the 2013-2014 Excalibur Times is dedicated to our 2014 senior class. We have 40 walking in the ceremony and 52 graduating this year. Of the 12 not walking, most finished early and either went on, prefer a private ceremony, or are happy without one at all. Excalibur is honored to present diplomas to each of these students for completing basic state graduation requirements along with many other studies of their own choosing.
Here is a sneak peak of our largest class ever—each special in his or her own way with gifts and challenges all their own. Our newspaper staff has made huge strides this year.
My hearty congratulations to them.

PRE-SUMMER COLLEGE PREP CAMPS,
DEBATE AND SPEECH TRAINING
ALL DISCOUNTED 10% - 20%!!!!
Our pre-summer camps with discounts have been so successful these past three years that we've decided to provide these camps again this year during the weeks of May 12-16 and May 19-23.
College Prep: If you want your high school student to understand the college application process in-depth and to successfully own it for themselves, the College Prep camp will give them practical tools necessary to navigate this process, including: college search, test preparation, essays, scholarship search, hands-on interview practice and high school resume writing.
Interviews/Resume Writing Work Session: This add-on one-day camp is for those who want more in-depth help on a personalized college resume (putting together an actual and usable resume) and hands-on practice with college/scholarship interviews (strengthening answers with impact and persuasion), two very essential components of the college application process.
Debate: If you want your junior high or high school student to begin learning skills of communication and argumentation in a professional and skilled manner, the Introduction to Debate camp will introduce them to life skills that include: critical and quick thinking, research, organization, and speaking.
Speech/Junior Speech: Whether your child enjoys or fears speaking to others, the Introduction to Junior Speech or Speech camp will make learning public speaking skills fun with hands-on practice and training.
For those interested in college prep, learning about debate, working on speech and communication skills, or joining or re-joining debate or speech club in the fall, we are offering pre-summer camps at 10% - 20% off summer prices.
Please see attachment for more details and registration form.
We’re finalizing the rest of our summer schedule and will send the information out very soon. In the meantime...
take advantage of these specials,
get ready for your college application process,
start your debate and/or speech training,
get your debate or speech prerequisites out of the way…
even before summer begins!!
