Christiana Homeschool Academy was proud to sponsor the recent "Music of the Night" Masquerade for over 100 homeschooled students in Maryland. The event, held at Martin's West in Baltimore, featured Top 40 and ballroom music, a buffet dinner and raffles, prizes, gift bags and even glo sticks!
The 35 seniors were honored during the "promenade." Each senior was introduced and a brief bio was read, highlighting accomplishments during the high school career. The seniors looked stunning in their elegant dresses and tuxedos.
Favorite music was played during the evening and the participants never left the dance floor. A photographer was contracted for the event and took exquisite pictures of the attendees.
Over 40 gift cards and other prizes were donated for the raffles. Best Buy, I-tunes and restaurant cards were some of the popular prizes. Each student also recieved restaurant coupons and gift cards, and a prom photo box as part of the gift bag.
This elegant event is a yearly event and the date has been reserved for 2011! Look for the prom information on the Christiana website in the early fall!

The Days of Kings and Queens
One of the highlights for 2nd, 6th and 11th graders at Christiana is to visit Medieval Times at Arundel Mills Mall. After studying about knights, castles, the crusades, kings and queens, the students visit this “castle” to experience a meal fit for a king and a rousing jousting tournament.
The students are seated in the participant section of the “grounds” and await the arrival of the royal family. The king and queen enter to loud applause and introduce themselves and the knights that will be competing for honors.
Following the meal, the anxious horses and their riders enter the coliseum and participate in games and contests. The king and queen finish off the evening with a pronouncement honoring the winning knight.
For the 30 students and adults from CHA, this was the culmination of a year of exciting books like “The Door in the Wall,” “King Arthur” and “Robinhood.” Learning about the brutality during the wars and crusades is often eye opening and humbling, but the appeal of the days of castles, royalty and knights will never go away.
