Subject: Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys: Great News!

Dear Founding Trustees,

I am delighted to share great news with you.

Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is officially a school, chartered by
Baltimore City Public Schools. The school board approved our application
last evening. Out of four applicants, only two were approved. Ours won
high praise and a very strong recommendation from Dr. Alonso.

I'm grateful -----beyond grateful---for your wise counsel and consistent
support. I feel like we have reached the base camp of Mt. Everest and now
begin a steady and slow ascent to the mountain top! As the trusted
guardians and stewards of this vision, our real work begins in earnest to
build the finest school possible for the families in Baltimore City who
deserve a world class education.

Our mission:

*Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is established to seek out, find and
advance forward the next generation of young men who, through the finest
liberals arts education possible, will become responsible citizens who will
lead and serve in our community, the nation and the world.*

Our work together takes on new meaning as we build a pipeline of students
and their families, teachers and supporters through through four related
initiatives: Collegiate Academy (our Saturday program in partnership with
the University of Baltimore), Collegiate Summer Bridge Academy (starting
July 9), Collegiate Boys' Athletic League and the Collegiate Fellows
program (a service learning project for high potential college graduates).

Five Smooth Stones. Five great initiatives. Transformative and generational
change for our community.

Please spread the news through our networks. We are on a mission to change
the world.

It takes a whole village to educate our sons,


I
