 THANK YOU

    On Election Day, the voters of East Montpelier approved an $8.17 million dollar bond to overhaul its elementary school by a tally of 811-731. The improvements will correct existing code violations for fire, safety and accessibility. They will also fix failing or outdated mechanical systems such as plumbing and heating while reducing future energy costs. The temporary classrooms will be retired since once the new space is completed and the students will move in. Overall, the investment will create a learning environment better-suited to teaching students the skills they need in today's world.    Construction bids will be evaluated this spring. The work is scheduled to begin next summer and continue for about fifteen months.    Thank you East Montpelier for advancing the next generation and for your support and trust.

The work to get all of your support doesn't stop now, we know we still have a lot of voters that did not support the project.  We will continue to work on reaching out to you as we make this project a reality for our community.

We will like to thank the amazing support of the Teachers at East Montpelier you have stayed supportive through this long process and help us immensely.   
The principals have volunteer many hours of their time and knowledge!  
Thank you to the entire Facilities Committee we have had many volunteers thought the years you know who you are.   This was a diverse and very committed group of people that never lost track of our main goal what is best for kids and not compromising on Quality.  Daryl Garland, thank you for the amazing design on the newsletter. 
A big thank you also goes to the School Board of East Montpelier for not loosing faith in the Committee and for spending many hours on the Facilities Committee too.  The Process has been long so we will like to acknowledge the previous members of the School Board too. 
We will like to thank Michael Levine from Flying Wheel Communication too, thank you for all your hard work and guidance through this process.
Many thanks too for Truex Collins Architects who have been wonderful to work with. 
Last we will all like to thank our families without their support we couldn’t have succeeded.

It has been a long road but along the way we have built the support of this wonderful community we are lucky to live in.
