Old North students visit Kennedy Space Center over Memorial Day weekend
S
tudents from the Old North
campus learned about the
history and future of space
exploration during their
memorial weekend trip to NASA’s
John F. Kennedy Space Center in
Pensacola, FL. The unforgettable
experience included seeing the space
shuttle launch pad where the Shuttle
Endeavor, led by Captain Mark Kelly,
took off for its 16-day mission just two
Brazilian style food their first night
in Florida.
weeks before the arrival of the
Confluence students.
Students also had the opportunity to
see a massive Saturn V rocket and
experience the rumble of a rocket lift
off. They visited the Astronaut Hall of
Fame which features the world’s
largest collection of personal
astronaut mementos, including
historic spacecraft. There, students
had the opportunity to sit in a mission
control console, take a virtual
moonwalk, and “feel” the pull of 4 Gs
in the G-Force Simulator.
This remarkable experience was a
collaborative effort on the part of
Confluence Academy’s Girl Scouts,
Boy Scouts, Young Ladies of Elegance
and Young Distinguished Gentlemen
and B.E.T.S. (Brave Enough to
Succeed Mentoring Group). Trip
organizers Stanley Johnson and
Lakisha Martin created a blog to
document their adventure. To see
more of their photos, visit the blog at

Just as fun for the students and their
adult chaperones, was the airline trip,

Letter from the Chairman
Another Successful Year
for Confluence
Dear Confluence Families and Friends,
As I helped to congratulate our kindergarten and 8th grade students at
promotion ceremonies this month, I couldn’t help but share in the joy of
our families who were so proud of their student’s accomplishments. While
Confluence Academy is pleased to have played a role in advancing the
education of these young students, we recognize that the greatest
contribution has been made by you, as parents and guardians of these
aspiring students, for which we thank you. Numerous studies have
concluded that one of the single most important factors in the success of a
young student is a caring and responsible adult in their life. Looking to the
future of your student, I encourage you to continue to play that important
role in your child’s next phase of education.
We have taken the opportunity in this issue of Confluence Connections to
recognize students who have met our attendance challenge. They had perfect attendance for the months of
March, April and May. Attending school each and every day is an essential ingredient to student achievement.
So as we close the year, I want to take this opportunity to thank the hard working and dedicated teachers and
staff of Confluence Academy and each of the parents and guardians who have supported their student’s efforts.
And students, I challenge you to get a running start on next year by reading three books of your choosing over
the summer.
We look forward to seeing you and your children on Monday, August 15th, our first day of school. Have an
enjoyable and safe summer!
Sincerely,
Craig Glover
Chairman, Board of Directors

Prepping For The Future
Walnut Park gives out
Student Choice awards
Talented students show CPA students explore
their stuff at South City careers, leadership
In June, Walnut Park held its first
annual Student Choice awards. The
entire staff was given the opportunity
to select a student to recognize at the
awards ceremony. How a “Student of
Choice” was selected is entirely up to
the nominator. From a student who
always shows Confluence Pride, to
one who reads the most books, any
student could be selected for any
reason.
On Thursday, June 16th, parents,
students, teachers, and families
gathered in the South City cafeteria
for the 2011 Talent Show. South City
teachers Walter Brown and Angela
Keely auditioned over 90 students
the previous week and narrowed the
show down to 12 acts. "Michael
Jackson" made an appearance, there
was some whipping of hair back and
forth in the style of Willow Smith,
strong stepping, praise dancing, and
singing, just to name a few of the
wonderful performances. Mr. Brown,
Mrs. Keely, and Ms. Sonya Mueller
even performed a Lip-sync to Katy
Perry's hit, Firework. It was a fun-filled
evening, where attendees got a chance
to witness the amazing talents of our
South City students. Everyone is
looking forward to what our students
will have in store for next year!
Once selected, the students are
presented by their nominators with
an official invitation to attend the
Student Choice Awards with their
parents. Over a lovely dinner of
spaghetti and dessert, students and
their families sat with the staff
member who recognized them, who
shared why the student was special
and how that student had an impact
that was worthy of recognition.

Following dinner, Principal Denean
Vaughn explained the Student Choice
Awards and each student, with their
staff member, was invited to the stage
to receive a medal of recognition. It
was a very proud night for many
parents and students. We can't wait
for next year's Student Choice Awards
when more students will be
recognized for the unique ways they
make Walnut Park outstanding.
Confluence Prep high school students
are taking advantage of a wide variety
of leadership development, college
and career readiness programs this
summer. These programs include:
Additionally, 11 Confluence Prep
students have been selected to assist
teachers in Confluence’s upcoming
summer school. Congratulations,
students. We look forward to hearing
about your experiences this fall.
