Parent Orientation

Can you believe that the summer program starts next week?  This year, the Calvert-FSK Summer Scholars enrichment program runs from June 24-July 19.  There are some changes to the schedule for returning parents.  The day still begins with breakfast at 9:00, but the day will end at 4:00 instead of 3:30.  For students traveling to and from Francis Scott Key, this means that the bus still departs at 8:30am, but now it returns at 4:30pm.

Parent Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, June 20th from 6:30-7:30pm.  The directors will discuss details about the program for this summer including scheduled field trips.  We hope that you will be able to come!  See you soon!

Two Remaining Events!

We have two remaining events.  We will return to Real Food Farms to see how our work paid off.  We will meet at the facility May 18th at 9:00am to see the progress and do some more volunteer work.  The afternoon activity is still pending, but we will do something fun, and we will have lunch.

The following Saturday, May 25th, we will go to Outward Bound at Leakin Park for teambuilding, low ropes and high ropes challenges, and a cookout.  Space is limited so sign up today!

The Calvert-FSK Scholars are "On Par"

The Calvert-FSK Scholars took a field trip to a golf training center. Everyone had a blast competing against their friends.

"It was super fun, we went to the Lake Clifton, and I play golf a lot so it was fun. Golf is for everyone, no lie", said Xavier when asked about his golf experience. "We went into the mansion too, and it was pretty awesome," Xavier told us as he reflected about the rest of the day. Overall, everyone had a great time developing their golf skills!

Calvert-FSK Scholars Tie-Dye Shirts

The Calvert-FSK Scholars tie-dyed their camp T-shirts throughout this week. We made many different, colorful designs using various techniques such as the swirl technique and the bulls-eye technique. When we dyed the shirts, many people's hands, shoes, feet, and clothes became coated in the dye, but everybody still had a great time tie-dying their shirts. The Calvert-FSK Scholars will wear these new, intensely vibrant shirts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hershey Park.
