Donations

Thank you to those who were able to attend the meeting tonight and thanks to those who are passing along information to those who could not attend (like myself).

There will be more information to come, but the biggest news so far is that we now have a defined place to send donations. Send them to:

Andrew Community School
Andrew Boosters - Save Andrew School Fund
13 South Marion Street
Box 230
Andrew, IA 52030

Please be sure to include the notation about your donation being for the Andrew Booster Club - save the school fund.

Again, thanks in advance for all that you can do.

Update

The brainstorming meeting will be held TONIGHT, NOV 16TH in the school cafeteria starting at 6:30. Thanks in advance to all of those who can attend!

Brainstorming Meeting

I just got word that there will be a brainstorming meeting put on by the Booster Club tomorrow night Monday, Nov. 16th at the school. I am still finding out the time but will be sure to post that here as soon as I find out.

Unfortunately, I reside in Madison, WI so I will be unable to attend but to those you will be there, would it be possible to email me at hawkalum@gmail.com with any news? Then I'll post that news here too to keep everyone updated.

It's a start

I came home from work last night to an email from my mother telling me about the bleak state of affairs at Andrew School. After reading the articles and watching the video from the Telegraph Herald website (look on the right side of this page for the links), I decided something needed to be done. Last night I created a Facebook group (Help Save Andrew Community School) and this morning I've started up this blog. At the present, I'm just simply happy to spread awareness of the problems that Andrew Community School is facing. As things hopefully progress, this blog and the Facebook group can become a source to help us come up with a solution.

To be honest, right now I'm treading water just trying to figure out where to begin, so if anyone has any ideas just post something in the comments of this post or or on the Facebook group wall. My mission today/this weekend is to find out where donations, money or otherwise should be sent. I will write a post as soon as I know something.

The one thing I can be sure about is that anything will help. For example, the school is currently looking for TVs to play DVDs and videos for classes. Whether it's money, donated items, volunteering, etc if we can help out the school in any way, we have succeeded.
