District energyprogram saving

more than money

While school corporations across the country continue tostruggle with shrinking budgets, some have started to reap thebenefits of cost-saving initiatives implemented to make districtspending more efficient.

Northwest Allen County Schools is not only seeing benefitsof its own, it was awarded for one of its initiatives at a recentschool board meeting. The district was recognized as anEnergy Star Leader by the federal Energy Star program, anhonor bestowed only upon the country’s most energy efficientschools.

Actions taken by NACS to reduce its energy spending hasnot only made them appear more environmentally adept, it’ssaving jobs.

Bill Mallers, Northwest Allen County Schools businessmanager, said NACS partnered with Dallas-based EnergyEducation, who helped them implement a program to combatrising energy and utility costs in January 2010. With the helpof consultants, NACS Energy Manager Dave Hey works withmaintenance and other staff at their facilities to ensure bestpractices are used to reduce energy use. Consultants visit thedistrict two to three times each month to walk the grounds andpoint out any opportunities for energy savings.

“What we were doing was getting our heating and airsystems on occupancy programming or scheduling,” Mallerssaid. “We worked with Energy Education engineers to maxi-

mize those types of things. That’s how the program reallykicked off, was to look at our HVAC systems. From there, itwas a total package on how we were using our energy andhow we could eliminate or reduce the costs associated withthat.”

Mallers said the purpose of occupancy programming is toshut down HVAC systems in buildings like Carroll HighSchool. The 600,000-square-foot facility was built to accomo-

date 2,800-3,000 occupants. To keep the HVAC systemrunning when it was unoccupied or occupied by only a fewpeople at one time was inefficient and costing the district valu-able savings. “We don’t need a whole building to be heated orcooled when there is just one person there,” he said.

“Electricity, heating and cooling, that’s like your biggest

No matter how tired,worn out or stressed aparent may be when theirchild endures long stays inthe hospital, the last thingthey want to do is leavethem there alone. It is oneof the many times in aparent’s life when theymay feel torn, knowingthey need to get rest, butcan’t bring themselves toleave the hospital.

This kind of worry isexactly what the RonaldMcDonald House atParkview has eliminatedfor parents whose childrenare required to stay at thehospital for long bouts oftreatment. Since 2002, thecharity has provided ahome-like place for fami-lies to stay nearby theirchild’s hospital room,getting the rest they needto be strong for their chil-dren. On April 11, theRonald McDonald Houseat Parkview RegionalMedical Center officiallystarted construction on a

$2 million renovationproject that will allow thehouse to help even morefamilies.

With the swing of a

sledgehammer, RonaldMcDonald himself kickedoff the project, which willtransform portions of theformer Parkview Northimaging department intothe new 9,000-square-foothouse. The completedemolition and remodel ofthe current space isexpected to take fivemonths. Once completed,the new RonaldMcDonald House will belocated on the main floorof the Women’s and Chil-dren’s Hospital.

A capital campaignraised enough funds tomove forward with therenovation, including a$576,000 in-kind donationof space by ParkviewHealth, $100,000 donatedby RMHC Global, a$250,000 donation fromFort Wayne-areaMcDonald’s restaurantsand community donations.

Parkview was one of thefew partner hospitals

chosen by RonaldMcDonald House inwhich to locate facilitiesfor parents of sick chil-dren.

Since it opened in 2002,the Ronald McDonaldHouse has served morethan 10,000 families andplans to do the same formany more to come. Oncethe renovation iscomplete, the new spacewill house a large gath-ering room with a privatesitting area, a kitchen, alarge family-style diningroom, a library withreading nook andcomputers, as well as alaundry and snack room.

Ronald McDonaldHouse Charities will open10 new houses and expand12 existing RonaldMcDonald houses in 2012to help fulfill the needs offamilies currently onwaiting lists for a place tostay close to their childduring treatment.

This kind of communitycollaboration is just whatMaxFitness owner ScottDierckman had in mindwhen the gym firstopened. He wanted it tobe a part of the commu-nity in which it waslocated and saw workingwith other area businesses

as an opportunity.“We wanted to get other

businesses in the commu-nity involved andpromoting their stuff,”Dierckman said. “It’sabout builiding relation-ships in the communityand also getting people tovisit our gym.”

MaxFitness, whichoffers no-contractmemberships starting at$9.95 a month, wasdesigned using an openlayout that they havedivided into various exer-cise areas.

At thegym’s other end is cardiocinema, where memberscan workout in a semi-private room whilewatching a movie on awall-sized screen. Adja-cent to that is where groupclasses are held at thegym, including Zumba,cycling and Les Millsprogramming. A kids’room near the front deskmakes it easier for parentsto stay in shape. MaxFit-ness offers the supervisedchildcare service for kidswho are at least threemonths old and isincluded in the price of a

Each year, the graduating class atCarroll High School chooses a gift tobestow not upon their school, but a recip-ient who is less fortunate or in need ofassistance. For the class of 2012, a specialneeds preschool won over their hearts.

The special needs preschool at CedarCanyon Elementary serves children ages3 to 5 within the Northwest Allen CountySchool district. To prepare them for futureschooling, the program focuses on theindividual needs of each child. Activitiesthat encourage motor skill developmenthave allowed some children to beginkindergarten without additional assis-tance.

Carroll’s senior gift committee decidedto focus their fundraising efforts onsupplementing the program’s motor skilldevelopment activities by purchasingspecialty Rifton bicycles and additionalnecessary equipment for class.

As an added surprise, the class of 2012has committed funds to send members ofthe special needs preschool on a field tripto the Indianapolis Children’s Museum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

begin your journey with focusing on whole foods. Fish-shaped crackers and hot dogs are convenient, but whathealth benefits are they providing for you or your kids?As you wean these items out of the diet, replace themwith veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds and real meat (out withthe hot dogs, bologna and deli slices; in with the rotis-serie chicken and grassfed burgers). In a matter of severaldays, your taste buds will change and so will your kids.’It just takes time, support and the willingness to changeand experience new things.

If you want to get more movement in your dailyroutine, summer is the perfect opportunity to get outsideand enjoy the beauty this season brings. Rise early forfamily walks, get out the sprinkler or the trampoline

(with safety net), or bike the trails.Instead of packing your summer schedule with vaca-

tions and endless hours at the ball diamond, use this timeto regroup. Slow down. Enjoy summer. Enjoy yourfamily. Form an alliance with those in your householdand plan out how you will gradually implement behaviorsthat will enhance everyone’s health. Make simplechanges like eating more vegetables, removing soda fromyour house, replacing packaged food items with whole,real food. Try planting a garden, frequenting the farmer’smarkets, making meals together, and playing outsidetogether.

As you implement these new behaviors, you’ll find thatyou feel better. You’ll more than likely have more energy,

sleep better and find yourself with better concentration orfocus. Summer vacation blesses you with about eightweeks of free time for you to practice eating better, exer-cising more, or devoting more time to thehealth-improving behavior of your choice. Cherish thisfamily together time and support each other in estab-lishing lasting behaviors that will evolve you and theones you love into happier, healthier individuals.

Rural studio tour perfect for leisurley lookersEight artists will open up their

personal and professional studios tovisitors during a self-guided tour inthe Leo-Spencerville area onSaturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to6 p.m.

Now in it’s third year, the RuralStudio Tour blends a variety of artistmediums such as printmaking,jewelry design, pottery, painting,photography, clothing design andmixed media sculpture art. Severalstudios will present demonstrationsor interactive art projects for guestson the tour, including printing pressdemonstrations with Shirley Hiner,wheel-throwing demonstrations with

Kristy Jo Beber and raku firing atSue Davis and Steve Vachon’sstudio. The tour is free of chargeand studios will have one-of-a-kindpieces available for purchase.

Artists and friends Lisa Vetter andKristy Jo Beber organized the firstRural Studio Tour on May 1, 2010,in “their neck of the woods.”

“With all the Amish out here, weenvisioned having the Amish trans-port the attendees in their buggies,in place of the nice trollies andbusses that (the Fort WayneMuseum of Art’s) Trolley Touruses,” the organizers said in a pressrelease. “The joke turned into a

lunch meeting of brainstorming andthe Rural Studio Tour was born,sans the Amish drivers.”

Guests on the Rural Studio Tourwill receive a map to each studiodestination and can visit as manystudios, in any order, they wish ontheir own time. Updates to the tourand maps will be available on thetour’s Facebook fan page,www.facebook.com/ArtStudioTour.Printed maps will also be availableat several local businesses, includingThe Orchard Gallery, Artlink andFirefly in Fort Wayne, as well asHigher Grounds and Leo Cafe inLeo.

Dr. Lori’s yard sale ‘don’ts’

Have you ever spent a Saturdaymorning going to yard sales? The signsare all around you, but you don’t want todrive around aimlessly or waste moneybuying junk. Here are sometips for making the most ofyour yard sale shoppingspree.

Don’t forget the cashYard sales are not like a

quick trip to the conven-ience store. You will needmore than just your keys,cell phone and credit card.You need coins and smallbills in order to take homethe best from a yard sale.Don’t ask a yard sale sellerto break a $50 bill, it couldbe the end of your negotiations.

Don’t sell everythingSome things aren’t supposed to be sold

on the front lawn. Don’t sell original artor jewelry at yard sales. There are notenough people shopping at a local yardsale to attract high prices. Yard sales arenot the place to get big bucks for yourheirlooms.

Don’t get up early I have made it a lifelong rule that there

is no good reason, other than a house fire,to get up before 8 a.m. Don’t get up at thecrack of dawn to try to beat everyone to ayard sale. You won’t miss a thing.

In fact, you can get the best pricesaround lunchtime as most yard sale hostsare ready to call it quits. By noon, sellersare exhausted and they don’t care whatyou pay for that Wedgewood cachet pot,as long as you take it with you. It is a

great time to negotiate oreven get stuff for free.

Don’t buy damageCondition is a key to

value. If you pick up acompletely tattered linenfrom a yard sale thinkingthat it is some fabulousantique Amish quilt, you areprobably paying hard-earnedmoney for the same rag thatyour husband would use towax the car. Someone else’stattered piece isn’t automati-cally a wonderful antique.Don’t fantasize about a yard

sale find. If it is in poor condition, leave iton the lawn.

Don’t buy parts I always say that buying parts is for

auto mechanics not yard sale shoppers.Don’t buy incomplete sets or games withmissing pieces. Buy complete games intheir original boxes whenever possible.Instruction booklets increases value by 15percent.

Don’t let it go until you know whatit’s worth

As an antiques appraiser with a Ph.Dand decades of market experience, I know

that most hosts don’t bother to find outwhat their objects are worth before theyschlep them from the attic out to the frontlawn. Do your homework and you can gohome with some great stuff from yourneighbor’s yard sale.

Ph.D. antiques appraiser, Dr. Lori pres-

ents appraisal events nationwide. Dr. Loriis the star appraiser on the hit TV show,“Auction Kings” on Discovery channel.To learn about your antiques, visitwww.DrLoriV.com, www.Facebook.com/DoctorLori or call 888-431-1010.

Sellers often don’t know the true value of old household items at their yard sales. Dr. Lori has more tipsto scour garage and yard sales this season.

What’s new at the zoo?The gates to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo have offi-

cially reopened for its 48th season. Behind them awaitnew animals, upgraded guest amenities and zoo babies,some of which have become Internet sensations andgenerated a media following.

Seven dingo puppies born at the zoo on Jan. 30 havemade headlines since photos and videos of the tiny crea-tures first hit the web. The puppies were born to Mattieand Naya, who were imported from Australia in 2010 andare one of just 75 pairs of pure dingoes worldwide. Onmost days, the zoo said groups of puppies and theirparents will rotate between their exhibit and a behind-the-scenes pen.

Even though they were born in May or June of lastyear, around seven kangaroo joeys have just emergedfrom their mother kangaroos’ pouches and are nowexploring the Australian Adventure exhibit. The zoo saidthat all of the joeys were sired by their only adult malekangaroo, Mako, who joined the Fort Wayne Children’sZoo last March.

For more than 40 years, a group of sociable and crowd-pleasing rodents greeted zoo-goers from an exhibit justinside the zoo entrance. The prairie dogs, which weredisplaced when the zoo started planning a new entrance,have returned after a four-year hiatus and are now waitingfor guests at a new exhibit.

Though they look like squirrels, the northern tree shrewis closely related to primates. This unusual, new creaturecan be found in the Indonesian Rain Forest at Dr. Diver-

Earth Day celebrations, with treeplanting, installing erosion controlmats, removing garbage on riverbanksand rallying for cleaner water.

“I have attended many where thereare booths inside buildings to celebrateEarth Day and felt a need for somethingmore. People need to embrace thenatural spaces that we have and enjoythem, beautify them,” King said.

The grassroots organization wasformed to create awareness about theconditions of the rivers in Fort Wayneand to also facilitate “ecosystemrestorative projects to help Lake Erie,”according to the group’s website.

The St. Joe, St. Marys and Maumeerivers are all a part of the organization’sprojects.

“What we do is extremely important,”King said. “Our municipality does notclean up trash in the rivers due toliability, and the (Department ofNatural Resources) only runs throughtwice per year to clean up trash.”

King’s efforts to improve waterquality began when she purchased ahome near the Maumee River.

“Save Maumee has been a very time-consuming hobby for me since Ipurchased a home a few hundred feetfrom the Maumee River in 2000 and myfriends told me I could not take the kidsswimming in the Maumee,” she said.“Since then, I have been researchingwhat is wrong with our rivers in FortWayne. I saw a need in our commu-nity.”

The work of King and many othervolunteers is starting to pay off.

Recently, the organization wasawarded “Indiana Organization of theYear 2011,” presented at the ButlerUniversity Conference and given by theHoosier Environmental Council.

“Our volunteers have set the exampleof effective ways to help with the No. 1pollutant in our watershed — sedimen-tation/erosion — and rallied our localcitizens, business and government toaction,” King said.

The group focuses on the Maumeebecause it contributes to the GreatLakes and also has local importance.

“We focus on the Maumee becausethe St. Joe and St. Mary’s cometogether to form the Maumee. Here inFort Wayne, revitalizing the Maumeewatershed will protect and restore theenvironment and improve the economic,aesthetic and recreational value of ourwaterways.”

The organization also representednortheast Indiana during meetings onCapitol Hill and has participated inClean Water Week in Washington, D.C.,since 2008, King said.

The group will take part in SolFest atFox Island County Park in May, and itwill hold its fifth-annual CanoeCleanup later this year.

When it comes to keeping local riversclean, King offered some advice.

“No littering — ever,” she said. “Onehundred percent of litter eventuallyends up in rivers.” She also recom-mended that citizens attend meetings,make suggestions and “be a voice foryour river.”

She said the group is busy planning,executing and implementing plans tobenefit all.

“I am glad the time is now, but weneed people to be involved in thisprocess,” she said. “It will take peopleto fix these problems and work forcleaner water.”

expense,” Hey said. “Before, nobody really paid attention tohow long the air conditioning was running. Now, this buildingdoesn’t come alive until 20 or 30 minutes before the kids gethere. Then we shut it off half an hour before they leave.”

Another usage adjustment for the district came in program-ming its interior and exterior lighting systems.

“We didn’t have a good shut-down schedule that involvedlighting, so that was a big component,” he said, adding thatstaff members in the district’s food service department werealso contributing to energy cost savings by preheating ovens at

the appropriate time and following proper equipment useguidelines.

“Any time we’re talking about energy usage, we’re talkingabout the behaviors of our staff, right down to extracurricular(activities). They may use a large gym and turn on an abun-dance of light, but only have a meeting of 20 people. Wewould want them to use a smaller classroom for that,” Mallerssaid. “That’s why the program is so valuable. It keeps it at theforefront. Part of it is just awareness and it comes down to thestaff usage of those buildings.”

“You still need reminders. That’s what I’m for,” Hey said ashe watched one of the head custodians shut a propped-openclassroom door during a walk-through tour of Carroll HighSchool. “See, there’s a good example. It’s about behaviors —making everyone cognitive of, ‘Do I need these lights on? DidI turn the computers, monitors, printers and copiers off at theend of the day?’”

While everyone has played a role in making the programsuccessful, Hey gave most of the credit to the district’s custo-dial staff.

“These guys need more a pat on the back than anybody,really,” Hey said. “When you need stuff done in the buildings,they’re the go-to people.”

With the near $2 million in savings the district has accruedduring the first half of its four-year contract with EnergyEducation, Mallers said the district is not only fulfilling itsresponsibility to the environment, but also to students and staff.

“The biggest thing we’ve been able to do is maintain educa-tional programs and the staffing that goes along with it,” hesaid. “In 2009-10, we dealt with some major budget cuts andthis has allowed us to maintain some of our educationalprograms without going further into cuts. We’ve been able tomaintain staffing.”

work through this withthem.

“And I think it’s neatbecause the Wall StreetJournal has done stories— and just nationwidethere have been storiestold — about kids who setup their lemonade standand then the next yearthey add to it. So it’sentrepreneurialismbreeding more entrepre-neurialism. Once the kidgets the bug and they cansee the potential of whatthey can do — the ideasthey can generate and themoney they can make —they will get really excitedabout it.”

Lemonade Day wasstarted by Houston-basednonprofit Prepared 4 Lifeand has grown from thatone city to an anticipated43 this year involvingnearly 200,000 youngpeople from pre-kinder-garten to 12th grade.

Shirey is hoping for1,500 first-year partici-pants in Fort Wayne, “butI wouldn’t be surprised ifwe exceed that.”

Other Indiana citiesinvolved in the programinclude Bloomington,Elkhart, Indianapolis,Lafayette, Terre Haute andRichmond.

The event has become

so popular that Prepared 4Life has switched its chieffocus from after-schoolprograms for at-risk chil-dren to national organizerof Lemonade Day, whichcan encompass all chil-dren. Prepared 4 Lifelicenses and providessome of the resources forlocal Lemonade Dayorganizers.

Shirey and Julie Eberly,president of Prepared 4Life, said workbooksprovide a guide for settingup a lemonade stand busi-ness, including lessonsabout making a businessplan, drafting a budgetand learning how tomarket a product.

The workbooks,provided in backpackswith other supplies, areoffered free through thesupport of local sponsorsand partners. In FortWayne, the title sponsor isthe Summit. Other spon-sors include Barrett &McNagny, the Universityof Saint Francis Studentsin Free Enterprise Club,the Schwab Foundation,the WBCL RadioNetwork, Parkview Healthand LaBov & BeyondMarketing Communica-tions and Training.

There are also a host ofnonpaying supporters,

including Junior Achieve-ment of Northern Indiana,the Greater Fort WayneChamber of Commerceand WANE-TV.

Shirey, who learnedabout Lemonade Dayfrom a newspaper articlein Indianapolis and thenrecruited Phil Maurizi ofthe University of SaintFrancis to serve with heras co-director, said thelocal program has thus farraised about $110,000 incash and in-kind dona-tions. It needs another$13,000 in cash to reachits targeted amount, whichwill be used for both thisyear’s expenses and someof next year’s.

Beyond learning how torun a business, Shireysaid, Lemonade Dayparticipants will learn howto be self-sufficient and ‘itwill create a new genera-tion of philanthropists.”

“The kids get to keepthe profits they earn,” shesaid, “but they are encour-aged to spend some, sharesome and save some.They are encouraged toenjoy the fruits of theirlabor a little bit, save upfor a rainy day and giveback to the communitythat supported them.”

Eberly said the nextemerging step is inte-

grating Lemonade Daywith lessons in schoolclassrooms, and that’salready happening inHouston and Chicago. Shesaid her organization hasdeveloped materials thatmake it easy to align suchthings as lemonade-standmath and science withschool curricula standards.

There are also thesomewhat less-measurablebenefits.

“We’re seeing kids thatare starting to believe inthemselves,” Eberly said.“They’re finding they canbe successful in some-thing. There’s also someevidence it may have animpact on kids staying inschool.”

Lorena Orvananos ofSugar Land, Texas, justoutside of Houston, canattest to the benefits ofLemonade Day. She, herhusband, Alejo, and theirchildren — Alejo Jr. andtwins Isabela and Patricio— began participating inHouston’s Lemonade Dayas a family project twoyears ago.

She ticked off all thelearning her children haveexperienced: that not allincome is profit; that busi-ness location is important;that advertising helps; thatteamwork and thinking

outside the box are crit-ical; and that it helps if abusiness is unique.

The Orvananos familyaddressed uniqueness witha secret lemonade recipeand a home deliveryoption that has Alejo Jr.,now 11, and the 8-year-old twins transportingplastic pitchers oflemonade to residents oftheir suburban neighbor-hood.

Their family project hadone other reward: Itbrought a shy Patricio outof his cocoon.

“At the end of the firstLemonade Day,” hismother said, “he was soopen, he was so excited. Itwas great for him. Now,he’s a lot more confident.”

Shirey was never shorton confidence, by thesounds of her life’sjourney, which beganoutside Oakwood inPaulding County, Ohio.But the mother of twoyoung children shares somany of the qualities andexperiences that typifyLemonade Day. In gradeschool, she had a Route66 lemonade stand madeout of a cardboard refrig-erator box, and later shetested her budding entre-preneurial skills bymaking hair scrunchies

and selling them at herfather’s convenience store.

At the heart of herinvolvement in LemonadeDay, though, is a missionthat brings a repressedtear or two when she talksabout it: helping thecommunity by offeringpayback for the assistanceshe received along theway.

It is the kind of philan-thropic responsibilityLemonade Day hopes toinstill in young people.

“People,’’ Shirey said,“have invested in me, andI think it’s important togive back. I wouldn’t bein the position I’m in, Iwouldn’t be doing whatI’m doing had it not beenfor people taking theirtime to invest in me.”

learning. That will be anice number when thefour-year school is fullyenrolled, but it’s clearlymore than is needed now.

Finally, the collegealready has hired therequired number of faculty(22) and staff (five)needed in the early going— and employees aren’texpected to begin movinginto the new $20-million,80,000-square-foot facilitynear Parkview RegionalMedical Center until June.The projected first day ofclasses is Aug. 13.

Dave McFadden,college executive vicepresident and interim deanof the pharmacy school, ismore than pleased with thestudent interest, quality offaculty and perhapschiefly the communitysupport for the school,including the work of acommunity advisorycommittee and the interestemanating from commu-nity pharmacies.

“We’ve really beenoverwhelmed by theinterest in the professionalpharmacy community tobe engaged with theschool,” McFadden said.“We have more sites iden-tified than we needimmediately. People aresaying, ‘We are eager tohave these studentsworking with us, learningfrom us.’”

All of the region’s majorchain pharmacies arerepresented, he said.

Moreover, seven facultymembers already havebegun working at areahealth care facilities asone part of the experientialprogram that will havethem staying fresh in prac-ticing their profession andalso teaching pharmacyschool students.

Herb Halley, director ofexperiential education forthe pharmacy school, saidin cases where facultysplit time between healthcare facilities andteaching, the employees’salaries will be shared bythe two organizations orfunded entirely by theschool.

Manchester College isbuilding the pharmacyschool on the strength of a$35-million grant from theLilly Endowment.

Beyond the cost ofbuilding the school,McFadden said, the moneywill be used for startupcosts that cannot becovered by tuition in thefirst two years —including the salaries offaculty and staff.

McFadden said hebelieves the pharmacyschool elevates the statureof Manchester College.

“When people thinkabout Manchester’s insti-tutional capacity,” he said,“the fact that we were ableto pull this off says some-thing about the quality ofleadership, and it speaks tothe commitment to excep-tional education. You can’t

do a school of pharmacyas a fly-by-nightprogram.”

Just as important are theeconomic and quality-of-life contributions thepharmacy school will giveto northeast Indiana.

McFadden said whenthe school has its fullcontingent of 40 facultyand 10 staff members, theeconomic impact inpayroll alone will be $5.5million a year.

“You will also have 270students living in thecommunity, some of themwith families,” he said.“They will be movingtheir families and buyinghouses and other things.It’s hard to quantify, but itwill be happening.”

Halley added that someof the graduates willremain in the region; phar-macies and otherindustries with pharmacy-related jobs will use theexperiential opportunities

as a recruiting tool.“They can see who the

best candidates are,” hesaid. “Which ones are thebest fit for them.”

As smoothly as thepharmacy school projecthas gone, there are stillsome significant tasks leftto complete, not the leastof which is a six-yearaccreditation process.

Halley said the school isalso seeking other experi-ential sites, such aspharmaceutical companiesand government agencies.

McFadden said the poolof student candidates mustalso be winnowed to about120 — 70 first-choicecandidates and 50 alter-nates.

And the school mustselect a new dean toreplace founding deanPhilip Medon, whoresigned in November forhealth-related reasons.

McFadden said the deancandidates have been paredto three, and he expects anew leader to be chosen bythe end of April.

When all is said anddone, McFadden said, thenew school will be areflection of outstandingcommunity involvementthat began with the advi-sory committee, whichhelped design variousaspects of the school’sofferings.

“I can tell you what theaccreditation site teamsaid,” Halley said. “Theysaid this was the mostinvolved, most activeparticipation they had everseen.”
