We are in the process of replacing the bleachers in our gym. The bleachers are the original bleachers from the 1960 construction of the gymnasium. They have become badly compromised and are providing a safety hazard for our students and our guests. We are replacing them with flexible bleachers that will be able to provide seating for 416 people. The demolition of the existing bleachers has been completed by our staff and the Knights of Columbus, and we have been able to recycle every part of the old bleachers. The funds for this project have been entirely raised from a grant from the Boone County Endowment Fund and from funds collected at our February 2020 Sacred Heart School Gala. When we removed the bleachers, we discovered several places where the maple gym floor was damaged. We have scheduled flooring repairs for later this summer, and we hope to complete some repainting in the next few days. Many thanks to our many volunteers who have helped to bring this project to completion.
