Site Update - May 1, 2008

Students Will Start The ‘08-’09 School Year At Selma, As Work Continues To Have Our Permanent Home At New Hope Chapel.

Two weeks ago, George Abrams, Marta Alcumbrac, and I took a tour of the Selma Elementary campus in Hollywood with Selma’s new principal who started there last fall. We were very impressed to see many improvements since our visit last spring. We toured the ten classrooms that we will occupy, and found them to be adequate for our classroom needs. I am certain that with the help of Kevin Mulcahy and Rachel Kamerman, our architect and interior designer, we will be able to transform the interior classroom space and make it our own. After Kevin and Rachel visit the site with me later in May, I am certain we will be able to give you a detailed presentation of our temporary site plan.

I want to assure you that our outstanding educational program will continue at Selma and the transition to our temporary location will be smooth. Collectively, it is our outstanding teachers, parents and students that comprise our community. Regardless of the address, our community will continue to flourish wherever we are located. Our program is strong, and is much more than a location. This move is temporary and we are looking forward to moving to our permanent location in the near future.

Stay tuned for updated information as work progresses on the New Hope Chapel site and the Selma Elementary site.

Sincerely,
Karin Newlin
