Board of Education Vacancies

At yesterday’s Board of Education meeting, one of the board members tendered his resignation, effective immediately. As a result, four vacancies on the Board of Education, rather than three, will be filled at the general election on May 18.
 
The nominating process to fill three vacancies was closed on January 20; but in light of this new vacancy, SBNC By-Laws require the nominating process be reopened to allow residents can submit additional nominations. A replacement for the resigning board member will be elected to complete the second and third years of his term, which expires in 2012.
 
The nominating process will be reopened for a two week period beginning Thursday, January 28. A second nominating meeting will be held on Thursday February 11. To submit a nomination, please see the details in this this letter, which will be distributed as widely as possible in the community over the coming days.

Student Employment Services

Could you use help shoveling your snow? Perhaps you know an able-bodied teen who would like an afternoon job? The Student Employment Service registers middle and high school students for shoveling and other odd jobs, as well as babysitting, party help, and tutoring … if you are fortunate enough call before other neighbors hire them all. Make sure that your family is registered in advance.

Edgemont Historical Cemetery /// Service Project

Local Old Edgemont teenager Ben Darger is in the process of planning a service project to beautify the run-down cemetery directly behind the Edgemont high football field (the service project will take place later this spring). The cemetery, which was established in the early 1800s, is the resting place for many of Old Edgemont's early residents.

For a look at the current state of the cemetery, take a look at the EA Flickr page of Ben's initial visit to the site. If you or anyone you know is interested in assisting Ben and his team, please contact him via email.
