What's the scope of this campaign?
Rapidly increasing enrollment is stretching our capacity to the limit. With this expansion we're planning to construct additional space to increase the footprint of our school. This will not only allow us to accommodate more students but also to significantly enhance our educational environment. Key enhancements include:
- Additional Classrooms: Additional rooms to serve as dedicated spaces for grades 5 through 8.
- Resource Room: A specialized area for students needing extra attention.
- Music Room: A dedicated space to support and grow our music program.
- Expanded Cafeteria: Allowing for more meal options and for students to eat together.
- Teacher Lounge & Additional Bathrooms: Providing essential facilities for our staff and students.
