New Cafeteria, Kitchen Need Your Help
Cafeteria/kitchen progress June 29, 2010.
The cafeteria floor is poured. Look at that view of the hills from the windows!
Have you driven though the pick-up line lately and glanced over at the high school to see the exciting progress being made on the new building expansion? Footers are in, walls are going up, and a roof is about to be set in place. Many of you are wondering, “Exactly what is going on up there, and how does it affect my student?”
This expansion to the existing building will add NINE new classrooms, a music suite, a cafeteria, and a kitchen to our original GCA high school facilities. Because of the generous donation of finances, construction work, materials, supplies, manpower, and time from a few families, we will have 7,754 square feet of new, ready-to-use space and a “roughed-in” kitchen and cafeteria.
How can your family help make the new cafeteria/kitchen a reality?
We are in need of $600,000 to finish and fully furnish this kitchen and cafeteria space, and ywe need help from the GCA family to make this vision a reality.
This requires a team effort from everyone , whether small or large, to raise the funds necessary to complete this expansion. The monies for this are not available through tuition fees, walk-a-thon, or the school budget.
From the efforts of a few, we now have raised $75,500 towards our goal of $600,000. We implore you to pray and think about how your family can join us in finishing out this expansion. This can be done as a one-time gift, a pledge over the next year to be divided up monthly, or with a matching gift contribution from your employer.
For gifts of $500 or more, recognition will be given on a plaque to be hung in the expansion of the high school. To make a donation or pledge now, please go to the link below and click on the “Pay Tuition and Make Contributions Online” link.
For many of you who are interested in the details or are wondering why you should give when you already pay your tuition, please go to a special FAQ Page by clicking the link here.
