Barn+Raising

Hello GLS Teachers and Administrators,

We are working with Innovative Schools Development Corp. (ISDC) to organize our upcoming Barn Raising Event the week of August 15th. The exact date is TBD, but we are looking at Saturday, August 20th.

The Barn Raising is an opportunity for volunteers from corporations, civic organizations, families, and the community to come together for one day and clean, paint and decorate our school. This will allow our students to start off the school year in a fully-decorated and welcoming school environment! It will also help GLS to establish lasting relationships in the community.

In order to make this event successful, ISDC needs you to provide plans for your classroom layout and a list of products needed to complete them. ISDC will solicit donations of paint, cleaning supplies, decorations, lunch etc.for the Barn Raising. Each volunteer team will be assigned to a specific classroom or other area of the school.

We also need your input on quotes and value statements that will be stenciled in the hallways.

I need to provide this list to ISDC no later than Tuesday, July 12th. You will have an opportunity to add or modify your plans, but they need basic information to get started. Please email your list to me at pam.draper@gatewaylabschool.org.

If you have a company or organizations that you think would like to participate, please let me know.

Thanks!

Pam
