We received some devastating news Monday evening--our beloved little grade school was voted closed by our corporation school board.
And then word got out...and this "sleepy" little town we all love got moving.
Last night, close to 250 good people assembled in a standing room only fashion to not complain...or bellyache...or fuss...
We gathered together to get to work...that's what we do around here.
And work we have to do--we will have an open steering committee meeting next Wednesday evening at the Community Center at 7:00 p.m. Anyone, of any age, is more than welcome to join in--the only skill you need is the ability to work diligently and positively. We know there are lots of good people in the area that fulfill that qualification!
Thanks to everyone for rallying to this good and urgent cause. We know there were many more who couldn't attend last night's meeting due to other responsibilities; you can hop right on the "Keep OES" Express by coming next week, or by keeping up to date with checking in on posts on this website and an upcoming website entitled Friends of Otwell Elementary. We'll share that website address as soon as it gets up and rolling. You can also "Like" the Jefferson Township--Otwell, Indiana Ruritan on Facebook and follow developments there.
We love this little town, its people, and its school...let's keep moving forward!
