MEETING AND IDEAS

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Thanks to everyone who attended the information meeting. It was heated and there were a lot of ideas and questions thrown out. One thing is intensely clear, it is up to us as a community to save this school.

That being said, now we must start brainstorming and in a hurry!

If you have ideas on how to raise money, fundraise, save the school... ideas used at other locations, in other churches/parishes/schools/businesses... please post them!

Not only should you share them (best if numbered, bullet points or short sentences) but also send letters to the Superintendent Catherine Weaver, The Parish and the High School.

Their addresses are available at the SSPP WEBSITE as well as the SAVE SSPP HS website. We have them posted on this site for the most part, as well.

The more we brainstorm the better.

Let's keep in mind that the questions that weren't answered tonight CAN be answered by writing the people in charge as well as keeping up as a group. We need to stay united and bring what we have to the table!

Thanks for your participation,

Alexis Morrell Class of '03

Please post any last minute questions you have for tomorrow's meeting. I will try to print them out and get people to ask them.

Please think this through, read what others have posted and either reiterate or post something relevant. Thank you,

News Updates

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

A couple of news items worth noting.

First of all, the Diocese of Wilmington has declared bankruptcy in response to the multiple lawsuits it is facing due to accusations of pedophilia and molestation by at least one priest. Read the full story, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/19/delaware-diocese-files-for-chapter-11/

Second, The Washington Times did a write-up on the situation with the school. It's a good article, and I highly recommend reading it. It's great that a little school over on the Eastern Shore can get this kind of media attention. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/19/delaware-diocese-files-for-chapter-11/

Keep up with the letters, and if you can afford to, pledge to donate to support the school. You can get the donation pledge letter here, http://www.SaveSSPPHS.com/web-storage/webstorage1/Pledge Letter of Intent.pdf

Sabres-

If you are unable to attend the meeting please post questions in the comment section of this post. Due to the fact that we cannot film or combine visual or audio media from the meeting, our reliance is on you asking questions through our established forums and our relaying these questions.

Be sure to post questions, even if you think they'll be asked, you never know what will come up or what might not get asked!

Thanks

I just wanted to throw this up as a forum for people to have some general discussion on the high school and the possible closing.

Comment away.

Welcome

Monday, October 12, 2009

Welcome to the "Save SSPP!!!!" Blog.

Yes the four exclamation points might seem redundant, but they are needed as we are in a dire situation.

I have set this blog up so that everyone has an opportunity to know where to go for information, where to go to show support and has the most up to date facts available.

This site also provides an interactive forum for everyone including those not on facebook, or not in Easton (or the Eastern Shore).

• We are asking everyone to please write a letter to Bishop Malooly and a letter to Catherine P. Weaver (the Superintendent of the Diocese of Wilmington) to fill their mailboxes with our concern over potentially losing our high school.

• Also, we are asking that you try and attend the meeting about the school on October 22nd at 7pM @ SSPP Church.

• Links to the various SSPP associated sites are on the left of this blog.
• A map to the new church is also provided.

• Please visit SaveSSPP.com for any information or contacting the Advisory Board.

Feel free to leave comments on this blog, to interact with one another as well as to provide:

• Contact Information
• Whether or not you can come to the meeting
• Opinions
• Questions
• Let us know you're out there
• Where you are now
• If you have an ideas of how to help

Thank you for your time, we won't go down without a fight.
