Goodwill L.I.F.E. Academy Buries Time Capsule

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Aug. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- The Goodwill L.I.F.E. Academy is burying a time capsule on September 9 at 9:00 a.m. The time capsule burial is part of the school’s move from a previously leased location to their new, permanent home at 5100 Tice Street in Fort Myers.

“The time capsule was suggested by the students,” says L.I.F.E. Academy Principal Lynn Pottorf. “The students have come up with so many ideas about what to put in it, we are having trouble narrowing the list!”

The time capsule will hold items like the L.I.F.E. Academy’s newsletter Tiger Tales and letters from the students to the future classes. The time capsule will not be dug up until 2063- 50 years after its burial.

“They want students in the future to know who they were,” continues Pottorf. “To know what their school was like.”

The Goodwill L.I.F.E. Academy is a tuition-free Lee County charter school for students with intellectual disabilities ages 11 through 22.  The new location features seven classrooms, a bus ramp area, a large kitchen, dedicated library and computer lab and other accommodations.

A ribbon cutting for the new location was held earlier in the summer.
