The Eagle's Nest Update
Newsletter of Metrolina Regional Scholars' Academy
A Charter School Serving Highly Gifted Students
January 4, 2010 |
 Our school community is deeply saddened by the loss of two of our own.
In Memoriam - Eddie Rabel, January 2010
The Scholars' Academy lost one of its most steadfast supporters this holiday season with the passing of Eddie Rabel. We salute him and his dedication to the mission and vision of our school.
Visitation for Eddie will be on Tuesday, January 5, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at University Hills Baptist Church, 1500 Suther Rd. in the University City area of Charlotte. Burial will be Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of other recognition, Maicel requests that memorial contributions be made to the Scholars' Academy annual fund drive in Eddie's name.
In Memoriam - John Lannon, December 2009
John, the father of our upper level science teacher, Heather Turano, lost an 18 month battle with cancer at the end of the year.
Please keep these families in your thoughts during the coming year.
For the earth,
Marie Peine, Ph.D., Director

Serving Our Community, Think Warm
The mercury has fallen significantly in the past week. As you put on your coat this January, take a minute to imagine not owning a coat at all. Unfortunately, many in the Charlotte area do not have the resources to warmly clothe themselves or their families against winter's chill.
Scholars' Academy will again hold a coat drive supporting Crisis Assistance Ministry via WSOC-TV Steve's Coats for Kids. New and gently used coats  will be collected at school Monday, January 11 through Friday, January 15. So throw all those outgrown coats in a bag and bring them to school in early January.
