Open House & Dedication
of the Kindergarten Cottage
Monday, Sept. 14, 3:35pm
The Kindergarteners begin class in their sunny new cottage on Monday! Please join us in community as we celebrate this grand accomplishment next Monday after school at 3:35pm with a dedication ceremony, followed by treats and tours (until 5pm).
Families who would like to make a contribution at the dedication will have the opportunity to purchase native perennials for $2 each. Roughly 100 plants are planned for a lovely garden on the Cottage grounds.
Hope to see you next Monday after school! |
Geothermal Matching Grant Update
As you may have heard, we have received a $15,000 matching grant that will help pay for geothermal heating and cooling in our new Kindergarten Cottage & Early Childhood building! This generous grant is from the Green Heart Fund of The Minneapolis Foundation. As of today, we've received $13,200 in pledges that will be paid between now and March 2010. We still need $1,800! Can you make a difference and bridge that gap?!
Help us green our school! Download a pledge form and designate your donation to geothermal or any other aspect of our wonderful new building.
Geothermal heating and cooling of the Kindergarten Cottage is just part of a $400,000 capital campaign to enhance our facilities, expand our curriculum and support our teachers (see below for more info). |
