News...news....news

I posted on our Google Group (www.groups.google.com/group/internationalschoolofcolumbus) and sent out a newsletter about the Indiana Legislators and how decisions they are making can be impacting charter schools in Indiana. Read it and follow this...email your state representatives...make your voice be heard. Charters equal choices for parents in Indiana. Choice is good, not bad. Even if the right choice for your child is not a charter school, we still need choices.

We are reaching out to our communities this month. First stop...Jennings County Fair. ISC has a booth at the fair and we will be there Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 5pm-10pm and Wednesday & Saturday, 1pm-10pm. Wednesday is Kiddie Day at the fair, with $12 hand stamp all you can ride from 1pm-5pm. After spending your afternoon twirling and spinning and going upside down on the rides, stop by our booth in Building 7. Beth Hauersperger, Board Secretary, and I will be there, talking with families and kids. One of our incoming students and her parents, Lauren S., came last night and hung out with Beth. We very much appreciate their enthusiasm.

We will be there all week. Next stop on our fair tour will be Bartholomew County Fair, starting July 10th! We also have something neat in the works, on the way to the fair...that is all I can say now, but it is something we think is really neat!

Tomorrow marks Mrs. Nobbe's first day as our new Head of School. If you would like to schedule a meeting with her, call me at 376.7000 or email me at mchristian@internationalschoolofcolumbus.com and I will set that up! I am very excited to be sharing our little temporary office with her. She is excited and ready to go, which makes me excited and ready to go.

In terms of the actual facility, I have heard rumblings that painting is about to begin for the interior. I peek in every day and it just amazes me how much it changes almost daily!

I am off to the fair tonight! If you are out and about, stop by and say hi!
