S UNNYS IDE <br /> ELEMENTARY SCHOOL <br /> January 29, 1996 <br /> Mr. Paul Harrington <br /> Interim City Administrator of Mounds View <br /> 2070 County Road H Mounds View City Hall <br /> New Brighton 2401 Highway 10 <br /> Minnesota 55112 Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> 612.784.5226 Dear Mr. Harrington: <br /> At Sunnyside we are undertaking a building project to house student programs. <br /> M.Susan Wandell Our question is the extent to which we can meet those needs. We are <br /> Principal <br /> proposing two classrooms, some small group meeting space, and a <br /> multipurpose room, attached to the existing Sunnyside gymnasium, which <br /> would be used as an additional space for physical education, multiclass <br /> activities, and for students with special education needs. <br /> Sunnyside has established a long history as a provider of space for the <br /> community. This multipurpose room would enhance service possibilities to both <br /> the communities of New Brighton and Mounds View. Activities which could use <br /> the space would include youth athletics, scouting activities, community <br /> education classes, park and recreation programs for both children and adults, <br /> and community meetings. <br /> We see the addition of this space as meeting our space needs during the <br /> school day. We also look at the proposed addition as an opportunity for New <br /> Brighton and Mounds View residents, housing evening, weekend and summer <br /> programs. It would be a flexible space which could be used in conjunction with <br /> the existing gymnasium or separately in a variety of capacities. The cost of the <br /> project is between $500,000 and $875,000, depending on its scope. If each city <br /> invested a maximum of $100,000 in the project, we could be assured of <br /> completing the project and each city would have additional space to hold <br /> programs and community events. <br /> We recognize that this is a time of tight resources. We hope that you are open <br /> to exploring this collaborative effort with your city council and our school board. <br /> Working together assures us all of a cost effective way to meet our goals. I am <br /> enclosing a copy of our timeline and the preliminary plans. I look forward to <br /> discussing this possibility with you. <br /> Sinc;yely, <br /> Independent School / / <br /> District No.621 / / / <br /> Susan Wandell <br /> Equal Opportunity <br /> for Education cc.
