Community members are invited to learn more about Starke
County’s newest school during a spotlight breakfast. It’s scheduled at The
Crossing campus on U.S. 35 next to Save A Lot on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 7:30 a.m.
The faith-based alternative school opened recently and provides a combination
of classroom and vocational training for students who have dropped out, been
expelled or otherwise fallen through the cracks in the public school system.
Organizers say the goal is to empower struggling students to
become contributing members of their communities through academics, job
training and faith-based mentoring. Coffee and donuts will be served. The
informational session will end at 8:30 a.m.
Prospective students can stop by the school Monday through Friday
from 8 until 11 a.m. and 1 until 3 p.m. to sign up for classes. Board president
Mark Bailey says students will not be turned away, and financial assistance is
available. Students who register for classes by Sept. 12 will count toward
their home public school corporation’s enrollment count for the sake of state
funding. The public school and The Crossing will each get a share of that
money. Find more information online at http://crossingeducation.com/.
