Many thanks to all who played a role in Thursday's Groundbreaking Ceremony! The list is a long one: Jennifer Beckman, who planned the event and took care of every possible detail; Bob Batley, clerk of the building committee and provider of hard hats, dirt, and shovels; Joe Stratton, co-clerk of the Capital Campaign; Maurice Weintraub, architect; Dave Dobbins and Bob Kittle of Dream Finishers, builders; Mike Lapp of Lapp Structures, construction support; Dan Truitt, State Representative; Rick Smith, East Goshen Township Manager; Irene Crichton, Clerk of the General Committee; Audrey and Favi, student representatives; Michele Kornegay, who documented the event; and all of the parents, grandparents, students, teachers, members of Goshen Monthly Meeting, General Committee members, and long-time friends of the school who joyfully and warmly (literally) joined in the celebration. Thank you!
Thank you also to the Quaker granting bodies that made the project a reality, The Snave Foundation, the Tyson Memeorial Fund and the Sara Bowers Fund!
