Improvement projects that are in need of funding:
- Playground fence – A fence is needed around our playground for safety. We have an Eagle Scout ready to build the fence, but funds are needed for the materials.
Projected cost: $1,500 - Garden Fence – We are in need of an 8 foot fence around the vegetable garden to keep the deer from eating up our student’s hard work.
Projected cost: $2,000 - Flooring – A number of our rooms are in need of flooring upgrades due to the high level of traffic they receive. The number of rooms we can refurbish depends on funding received.
Projected cost: $3,000-$10,000 - Parking – Several truckloads of dirt or crushed shell need be hauled in so that cars to do not keep getting stuck in the mud.
Projected cost: $1,500 - Tables & Chairs – Many of our tables and and chairs are “hand-me-downs” from other organizations, and many are literally on their last legs and continue to break or fall apart on a daily basis.
Projected cost: $5,000 - Storage Buildings – We are in need of a dedicated storage building for archery equipment and another building closer to the garden for gardening equipment.
Projected cost: $1,500 - Handicapped Ramp – We are in need of a ramp for the portable buildings. We often have students with injuries as well as teachers and visitors who would benefit from a ramp.
Projected cost: $2,000 - Painting & Renovations – A large portion of the “main house” has been renovated over the past 8 years, but some areas remain stuck in the 70’s. We would like to update the kitchen with new paint and remove the fireplace in the Indian Paintbrush classroom.
Projected cost: $5,000 - Classrooms & Restrooms – EE has grown from 160 students in 2013-14 to over 300 students in 2014-15. Continued growth is expected for 2015-16, so additional classrooms and restrooms are a must. Options include bringing in more portable buildings, renovating the barn and/or new construction.
Projected cost: $100,000+ - Additional Property - 20 acres adjacent to the EE campus are currently for sale. ($80K/acre) We really need a few of those acres for things such as an auditorium, gym, additional classrooms, parking, playing fields, etc.
Projected cost: $240,000+
