Headmaster's Mid-Summer Report
Written by Kasey Kesselring   
Thursday, 17 July 2008

Dear Parents and Friends of the Academy:

It is hard to believe that we are already nearing the end of July.  Next month we will be preparing to see our students return to the Academy for the 2008 -2009 school year and the beginning of the Academy’s 96th year!

The summer months have been busy at the Academy.  In addition to our traditional summer school program of approximately 55 students, we have also been host to some 140 students in our summer day camp and our new enrichment camp for the lower school has gone wonderfully in its first year.

Super Athlete Ciara Hopkins
Written by Tracey Mansfield   
Monday, 09 June 2008
On June 8th, one of Montverde Academy’s own competed in the Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.  Congratulations to Ciara Hopkins, 11, who became the youngest competitor to complete the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco. She also set a time record in her age group. Ciara is a day student who lives in Clermont.  This is an amazing accomplishment because of her age and the fact she was competing with more than 2,000 of the world's best triathletes.  They converge in San Francisco to compete in this infamous and extreme sporting event every year.  The triathlon features a 1.5 mile swim through frigid waters from Alcatraz Island to shore, a grueling 18-mile bike race, and a demanding 8-mile run through the rugged trails of Golden Gate Recreation Area.
