Kick Off t Morgan and WJZ Video

On Tuesday, June 24, all students involved with the Middle Grades Partnership from all over Baltimore City arrived at Morgan State University. The event was hosted by the Admissions Office within the beautiful Murphy Fine Arts Center. Featured was a new theme for 2008, "Partnerships, Let's Do This Together." The guest speaker, Munir Bahar, is an entrepreneur who founded KEYS Development, Inc. (Keep Encouraging Youth to Succeed). We also heard music from the MSU Jazz Combo. Finally, we enjoyed ice cream! I am sure that the students will say that the ice cream was a wonderful way to end the day. The cookie dough ice cream is the best (says Mr. Little). There is a wonderful clip from WJZ about the Middle Grades Partnership, featuring our MGP kickoff event at Morgan State University. You can view the segment at http://wjz.com/seenon/school.watch.2.756178.html. Enjoy!

Welcome Back!


On June 23, Calvert welcomed the FSK Summer Scholars: 27 new rising 7th graders and 26 rising 8th graders as well as students from the Summer of 2006 who will be entering 9th grade in the fall. Everybody was very excited to get started with the summer program. The most popular activity was...pretests! We look forward to another successful summer.
The first group of MGP students from FSK to arrive at Calvert School will be entering 9th grade in the fall.

Rising 8th Grade

Summer of 2007

In their second year at Calvert School for MGP, we expect great things from our rising 8th graders. They have a few special activities that only they get to enjoy this summer, including visiting a court house and meeting a special prosecutor on Wednesday, June 25th.
