September 2009

Deep Portage is back underway for the school 2009/10. Nicollet High School, Lowell Elementary, and Nevis Elementary are on the schedule for this week, and the teaching staff, new and veteran, are excited to get going. Three new teachers, Caitlin Shrestha, Brock Nedland, and Charlotte Henning, have joined the veteran crew of Casey Stanley, Fabiana Lima Verde, Joanna Wepking, Clare Croteau, and Abby Pifer. Also happening at Deep Portage is the construction of our new energy center. The new building will house two boilers that create heat via wood gasification. The new system will have both environmental and economic benefits, and we look forward to the completion of the project. Be sure to check our website for upcoming public programs. See you on the trail!
