New Lounge And More

Over the past summer, the Men’s Club helped pay for several additions/improvements for the school. While air conditioning units and classroom painting may have taken a majority of the cost, we had the opportunity to improve things for the teachers. A new teachers lounge, prayer room, meeting area and bathroom addition for the staff were primarily funded by the Men’s Club. Unfortunately, we were not able to hire a full-time massage therapist and barista.
