Students Present 2012 Local Hero Award

On Friday, January 13, our middle school students presented Community School’s 2012 Local Hero Award to Angels of Assisi. Since 2002, Community School has sponsored the Local Hero Award to honor the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. This year, the Local Hero Award Committee chose to recognize a local non-profit agency whose efforts in the community have exemplified Dr. King’s peaceful efforts. The award committee, composed of eight middle school students selected by their teachers, chose Angels of Assisi because of the organization’s commitment to providing low-cost dental and health care for pets, spaying and neutering services, a farm animal sanctuary, and foster care and adoption services. Don Mason, Angels of Assisi founder, attended the ceremony to receive the gorgeous and symbolic mosaic art piece.                         

New Building Addition in the Planning Stages

As we watch the children learn and grow, we will be watching our campus facilities grow as well! We are proud to announce that we are working toward building an addition onto our music, technology, Early Learner, and elementary building. This addition will house our new music lab and a new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lab. This exciting opportunity presented itself due to the positive fundraising campaign for our Yamaha keyboard lab and a generous gift designated to outfit a STEM facility. Although we are still in the planning stages, we welcome your questions, ideas, and donations. You may contact Holly at hollyh@communityschool.net or 563.5036.
