Help us renovate our gym

Our gymnasium has become increasingly inadequate to meet the needs of our girls. The room is in high demand for physical education classes, on-campus performances, and special events. It is the only space we have that is large enough for all school activities and programs.

Physical education, recreation and performances are important elements of our program, especially since many of our girls struggle with obesity, low self-esteem and unhealthy coping skills.

To renovate the gym, we will replace windows, redo the floor, repaint, install a new heating system, provide protective pads on the walls and purchase new equipment.

For more information on supporting our gym renovation, contact Pam Nourse at 781-648-6200x133 or by email. To contribute on-line, click here.
