January 6, 2007 - Day 195
Had the opportunity to chat with Drew Kelly former head of the BAVPA Parent Teachers Organization this week. Drew has been coordinating events and doing the heavy lifting here keeping parents and teachers informed about developments at the new school and acting as the primary liaison between City Hall - Ciminelli and the school community.
Rather than play traditional school politics and be able transcend the typical roll of a PTO - and of course leverage the excitement of a move to a brand new state of the art facility - the decision has been made to merge Drew's energy as former head of the PTO with the BAVPA Alumni Organization, run by Chris Byrd. This new organization, Friends of the Arts Academy will reflect the new reality of this dynamic community in a new location. Here's Drew's first post.
Drew and Chris Byrd - same tech guy running Broadway Fillmore Alive - teamed up recently with Paul McDonald from City Hall who is coordinating the construction from the City's side. They shot this short video a few weeks ago...and provide a glimpse of what's going on inside the school.
See BAVPA Reconstruction Archive for additional details and updates.Rather than play traditional school politics and be able transcend the typical roll of a PTO - and of course leverage the excitement of a move to a brand new state of the art facility - the decision has been made to merge Drew's energy as former head of the PTO with the BAVPA Alumni Organization, run by Chris Byrd.
