Seeking Volunteers and Persons of Good Will

The three of us (Shea, Angie, and Tammy) are thrilled about the turn-out of our ice cream social. We met with some wonderful families who are planning to enroll their children at Harvest. One might have to wait five years until her little man grows a bit. We gave away all five copies of For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay to thank them for coming. 

We were excited to learn that they are committed to being a vital part of our community and are quite willing to help us do the hard work in the next five weeks to make the school a reality. They asked a lot of really great questions, which we will answer here and add to the website!
  • Angie Bruner, headmaster of Harvest, has an office at the Bruner Agency (1 North Cantey Street) about a block from the new school. She is available to make appointments to meet with families, answer questions, and take application forms (available here). Feel free to contact her (information here).
  • Tuition (not including school supplies) is $3,000 per year. We offer a 10% discount to families who pay up front. We also have a payment plan of $300 per month that goes from August 2013 through May 2014. Payment is due the tenth of each month. We are working on a school supply list, which will come out in plenty of time for the tax-free weekend (August 2-4).
  • We should have full access to the building and grounds by Tuesday, July 23. We are seeking a  "working party" (a term Tammy picked up in the Navy and the emphasis is on the word WORK) to invest some "sweat equity" into dirty jobs we can do ourselves: wiping down windows, washing the walls, cleaning the floors, etc. Please contact Angie if you would like to donate some elbow grease, cleaning supplies, or prayer support to the cause.
  • We are in the process of acquiring capital equipment for the school. Our greatest needs include large student tables and chairs where students can do their notebooking, a refrigerator, a microwave, bookshelves (bring or build), a mini-trampoline or exercise trampoline, etc. Let us know of any sources where we can pick these items at a price within our limited budget.
  • We also have a wish list of things that are not necessary for us to open the school: rocking chairs for the porch, picnic tables, a porch swing, outdoor benches, bird feeders, bird seed, supplies for making a square-foot garden, materials for a Monarch way-station, playground equipment, etc.
  • We are in the process of setting up a Paypal account for people who wish to contribute funds. As soon as it is ready, we will post a link to our "Partner with HCS" page. Because the three co-founders are working pro-bono, everything you donate will go toward opening the school and serving students who are the true beneficiaries of our efforts.
  • Since we are a nonprofit organization, we can give you a tax receipt for your donations.

We will close with a hymn we will sing with our students starting in August. It is quickly becoming an anthem for Harvest Community School--"Great Is Thy Faithfulness".

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
  Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided--
  Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
