NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR

Letter from Susan Schmitt:

Dear Parents,

I am excited to announce that Friday, December 20th will be designated as a Head of School Day-- with no classes, a special opportunity to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our students and the faculty throughout the fall term. We hope this day serves as a well-deserved moment of recognition for everyone’s dedication and achievements-- and maybe a day to relax before the holidays.

Please note that our half-day events will take place on Thursday, December 19th with a noon dismissal. The Lower School will enjoy a Gingerbread STEM Day, while the High School will host an Alumni Spirit Day.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to celebrating together as we wrap up this wonderful fall term.

To iterate:

Friday, December 20-- no school

Thursday, December 19th-- half day

Please communicate these changes with your transportation service.

Craig School Chili Throwdown NEWS-Time to RSVP: The countdown clock to the Craig School “Chili Throwdown” stands at a little over a week and counting. Here is where we are at with our Chili checklist-

We have “SAVED THE DATE” (Sunday, December 15th on our Montville campus from 1PM-3PM)
We sent out the “CALL TO ALL CHILI CHEFS”. You can still register your family chili at Calling Craig Chili Chefs

Now it's time for the final and most important check on our list. To fill that Throwdown room with the Craig Community! Calling all Craig School families and friends of the Craig School, your company is requested for our Annual Craig School Chili Throwdown so RSVP NOW! (RSVP Chili Throwdown 2024)

This year, we are going well beyond chili with a NACHO BAR, DESSERT TABLE, SMASHING PINATAS, and the GIANTS and JETS on the BIG SCREEN so it should be a fun couple of hours for every member of the family! And know that it’s not a Craig community event if you aren’t part of it. Hope to See you on the 15th!
