A message from Violeta:

Imagine a school in America without a gym, a cafeteria, or an auditorium, in a community without any place the local youth can go for recreation. Imagine that a school meeting or concert must be cut short because it starts to rain, and there's no place to go inside. After years of enduring these problems, this High School wants to build a multi-purpose hall which will serve all these purposes, where its students and teachers can come together as a community. They will be able to study together, eat together, put on concerts, plays, and debates, have club meetings and workshops, watch movies, play indoor games, and more. By literally being closer as a community, the students will be able to motivate and help each other, and take pride in each others’ accomplishments. Also important is that the hall will ensure that activities no longer need to end when it rains or snows. Students can assemble inside and carry out group activities all year-round, weather notwithstanding. Moreover, the hall will act as a youth or rec center, a place where students can relax and have fun after school hours in a supervised environment. This hall will positively affect the health, academic performance, and happiness of the students for years to come. As the teachers and students say, the construction of this hall will be a milestone in the history of the school.
