Even when you take into account the long history and great affection that Talbot County has for the Country School, it is an incredibly daunting task for any small private school to raise enough capital to dramatically change their campus’ physical plant, add new classroom space, and redesign their parking and student pick up zones, mainly when it needs to happen all at the same time.
That certainly is the case for the K-8 school on Goldsborough Street as board members, parents, and staff work their way to the finish line of an almost $10 million fundraising campaign.
And the person that is the most responsible for the successful execution of this effort campaign is Justin Nonemaker, chair of the Board of Trustees at the school, Country School parent, and co-founding partner of ShoreGate Partners in Easton.
The Spy talked to Justin a few weeks ago to hear more about their plans, their early success the campaign has had to date with $7.6 million raised, and the long-term impact for the school community and for the streetscape on Goldsborough.
