MATTAPAN, MA<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> \u00a0Today, KIPP Massachusetts and Consigli Construction Co., Inc. (Consigli) celebrated the construction of its newest campus on 37 Babson Street in Mattapan with a cornerstone laying ceremony.<\/p>\n

Nearly 100 friends of the schools, including Board members, donors, parents, staff and the following elected officials, Senator Linda Dorcena Forry,\u00a0 Representative Russell Holmes, Representative Dan Cullinane,\u00a0 Councillor Tim McCarthy and Ruth Georges representing Mayor Walsh\u2019s office and the building project teams attended the event. Designed by Arrowstreet, Inc. and constructed by Consigli Construction Co., Inc., the new 53,000 square-foot home for KIPP Academy Boston Elementary and Middle School, scheduled to open in Fall 2016, will include eighteen classrooms, four breakout rooms, two science labs, a library, gymnasium and cafeteria, and will 648 students.<\/p>\n

A first grade choir of twelve \u201cKIPPSters\u201d kicked off the morning with three songs, followed by words from 8th grader Garshae Mowatt-McKenzie, and KIPP Academy parent, Cassandra Rhea and Executive Director Caleb Dolan.\u00a0 Mowatt-McKenzie shared some of her experiences as a founding 5th grader and her wishes for a KIPP High School to continue her education. \u201cWhen I found out KIPP wasn’t having a High School I was devastated … KIPP has given so many students a chance to see that they can be more than where they grew up.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the wonderful opportunities I was able to earn because of KIPP is a $10,000 scholarship towards college from the Red Sox Scholars Foundation. Only 10 students out of all the Boston Public Schools were chosen for this opportunity and 2 out of those 10 students are from KIPP.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Cassandra Rhea spoke about her four children\u2019s educational experiences at public, private and charter schools stating that, \u201cEvery parent I know just wants a good education for their child.\u00a0\u00a0 I am one of the lucky ones because I have found that here at KIPP.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited for what\u2019s to come with this school, a new building, a new neighborhood and more community involvement.\u00a0 I am hopeful that someday there will be a KIPP High School, so that my children, and many others can continue their education in the environment that has served them so well.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Currently there\u2019s a cap on Charter schools in Massachusetts which prevents KIPP from having a KIPP Academy Boston 9th \u2013 12th grade High School.<\/p>\n

Executive Director, Caleb Dolan, shared that our \u201cteachers, leaders, students and families have worked hard to earn this beautiful building.\u201d\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0Assistant Principal, Nikki Barnes, and Dolan invited guests to share in the dedication of the cornerstone: \u201cTo the children and families of Boston and the community members who serve them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
