aip winners update

We apologize to the 4th Quarter and Year-long AIP winners who received their congratulatory letters without the gift certificates. There was a mix-up here at Fell, and the letters were mistakenly mailed without the certificates. We are working to correct this as quickly as possible, and hope to have the certificates in the mail by no later than next week.

Thank you for your understanding!

Carpenters Needed

We’re looking for volunteer carpenters (or anyone with carpentry skills) to help us with our move this summer!  The decks surrounding the Main Building will all have to be removed prior to the building being moved out – if you are able and interested in helping, please send an email to contact@fellcharter.org, or give the office a call.

We’re movin’ on up!

FROM MISS MARY JO WALSH, PRINCIPAL/CAO

I have great news: it appears that everything is moving forward in our partnership with the USDA for our new building! We anticipate that we will be breaking ground in March of 2011 (just 10 short months away!).

In an effort to prepare for the construction phase of the project we are making some sweeping changes right now. We will be moving into additional modular buildings shortly. Our large red building will be going away (it will be hauled off the site) over the course of the next few weeks and we will be a fully modular community starting this summer, when we will add two to three new modulars on the grounds and operate out of them thru the entire construction phase.

By moving into the modulars now, we will not interrupt the school year this fall. I believe that it is important to get us settled (as much as possible) before school starts. That way, the transition is done and we are off to a smooth start this fall.

We will need help in this transition phase over the next few weeks. We will need volunteers to help us move, and we could use donations of large boxes, packing tape and plastic bins. I will be putting more information out this week on our website.

In addition, our teachers may be asking you to come in and help. Things will move quickly in this month of June!

As always, we appreciate your understanding and your patience as we make these changes, ALL in an effort to clear the land to build our 5 million dollar school! More to come……
