Thanks to Sherry Browne, Erin Browne, Hugh Scott, Leigh Scott, John Scott, Aaron Baldwin and Marina Baldwin for manning booths this past Saturday.  We are really starting to get the word out.  We made some terrific contacts and signed up some new potential students.  We will have more opportunities to help in the near future.  Thanks again.

We are pleased to announce that from our preliminary meetings, we have had enough interest to determine that there is a definite desire from the community to pursue a public school charter.  We currently have just under 100 students that have already signed up.  This is a terrific start but we still need more families, so please spread the word.  We will have volunteers manning booths at the Seewee Outpost, Bulls Bay Supply, McClellanville Dollar General and other locations in the near future to help get the word out.

We also have exciting news that we can now announce.  Clemson University wishes to partner with us to help develop and implement our environmental curriculum.  This is just the first of many partnerships that we feel we will be able to make because of our unique location between the Francis Marion National Forest and the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge.

If you are interested in helping with the formation of the school or have children that you feel would benefit from a new school in the McClellanville and Awendaw area, please visit the Contact page and fill out the questionnaire.

The Awendaw meeting has been scheduled.  Anyone interested in finding out more about the proposed charter school please plan to attend.  The meeting will be held at the Awendaw Town Hall; 6971 Doar Rd; 7:00PM Thursday 2/18/10.

The first public meeting is scheduled for February 11th, 2010 at 7:00 at the McClellanville Town Hall; 405 Pinckney Street.  A second meeting in Awendaw will be scheduled soon.

We would like to find the level of interest from parents in the community, collect information about the needs of the families to help shape the school as we go forward.  Please spread the word and hope to see you there.
