Vision Charter School Newsletter
We have LAND!
April 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Greetings!
We have some exciting news! Vision
Charter School has CLOSED on our land. Yes, it is true! WE OWN LAND! We
purchased twenty-two acres of land for $209,000 and paid cash for the
land. We are preparing to move our portables to the new land this
summer. The land is located across Highway 20-26 on Ward Lane just
before you get to Linden when heading south on Ward. The property we
purchased is on the west side of the road just after Copper Creek
Subdivision.
The search for land has been a long and
difficult search over the past four years. We are pleased to announce
that this land is a fabulous investment for the school and the price
was perfect!
Due to high demand, we will be doubling the fifth, sixth, and seventh grade classes and adding tenth grade next year.
Please tell your friends that
this is the BEST time to sign up for the lottery. Applications must be
postmarked by April 19, 2010 and hand delivered by April 23, 2010.
Applications may be found at www.visioncharter.net
