Codman sophomore competes in state-wide Shakespeare competition
Codman Academy proudly congratulates a member of its sophomore class for her stellar performance at the English Speaking Union's National Shakespeare Competition on Saturday. After winning our school-wide competition in December, she went on to represent Codman at the semi-finals last weekend and was selected to go on to the state finals this Sunday at Emerson College. A big thank you to the Huntington Theatre Company for their help in preparing our students for this competition!
Go Codman Warriors!
HAITI
The Haitian flag continues to be lowered to half mast in front of Codman Square Health Center and Codman Academy Charter Public School as a sign of respect and comfort to our Haitian community members here and in Haiti. A delegation from the school and health center presented our neighbor, Partners in Health, with checks totaling more than $3500. Thank you! You may also donate online at www.pih.org.
