Last year, we launched a new $18 million fundraising campaign to add a new building to our family, which will increase our capacity and allow us to deepen our engagement with the Lincoln Square neighborhood and Chicago at large. Construction on this additional facility in Lincoln Square is racing forward. In January of 2012, our expanded building with well-equipped classrooms and a cozy concert hall for dancers or quiet troubadours will open and amplify our services to the community.
With your help we can ensure that the School will always be a place where students can explore their creativity, restore their spirit and affirm themselves as individuals within a warm and welcoming community. The School's staff and Board are excited about this giant step forward and confident that, with your generous help, we will succeed in reaching our goals.
