This is the creator of this article and i feel it should not be deleted as my fellow peers are creating this articles for our school. If you google or mapquest our address you will find our school. If you want proof of this school go to bellevillemennoniteschool.org, this website is our address and I would know as I am on web maintenance at our school. We were in school trying to create this in study hall. We we're unable to finish it because you guys were trying to delete it. I was planning on finishing it tonight, but if it is deleted i will be unable to.

Thank You Unanimous Writer

The reason it's up for deletion is not because we don't think it exists, but because it doesn't seem to be notable. If you want to discuss it further, please read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Belleville Mennonite School -Zeus-^u_c 21:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Notability: the school is notable due to the controversy regarding higher education (higher than eighth grade!!) in the Amish Mennonite and plainer Mennonite church communities which it served at its founding. This historical theme, however, should be more clearly developed in the article, though it may take the student writers more time to do so. EdK (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate the enthusiasm but please note these points:

Don't add chunks of text from the school website because this breaches the school's copyright.
Don't add peacock phrases such as 'high academic standards' without independent sources.
