These funds will support Calverton’s Annual Giving Campaign, which helps to make the difference between tuition revenues and the actual cost for each student’s attendance at the school.

Meet Puss ‘n Boots and Jack and Jill. Puss ‘n Boots are two gray-striped kittens. They are very bonded and will be the perfect fit for a family wanting two kittens who will entertain one another. Puss is a girl, and Boots (pictured above), living up to his name with his white feet, is a boy. They can play, jump and spin in the air with one another until they fall in a heap and stop long enough to regain their energy. Jack, below, is a shade of lemon yellow. He is a little more introspective and calmer than the other kittens. Jill, pictured at the bottom, a tortoise shell, is another ‘‘let’s romp and roll” kitten. Jill has an application pending. To meet one of these sweethearts, call Sally at 410-257-5866. more...
