School
Construction/Renovation
Approximately $2 million from our campaign will be used to build a school addition and remodel our current school facility by September 2011 in order to provide space for the growing number of children in our parish. In order to serve increased enrollment, our program will:

- Build a Media Center, combining a Library and Computer Lab to be used by all grades.
- Evaluate design opportunities to include special fine and liberal arts classrooms for all students including Music/Band, Art and World Language.
- In addition to the above, our renovation plans will include existing and new space to provide:
- An additional resource room for our primary students’ reading and/or math curriculum
- A lunchroom to accommodate 100 students
- More storage space for our teachers
- A reception area at the main door
- Functional space for our Administrative Staff
- Conference room for staff meetings and private meetings with parents

The projects completed last summer include:
- New bathrooms in the lower Parish Hall
- A new middle school classroom converted from the gym balcony/library
- A new primary school classroom converted from the former computer lab
- A new middle school science lab
- Renovation of the gym stage for use as a music classroom
