What is the special project for ACE Item #60?
When the main administration building was built over 100 years ago, it housed two bathrooms on each floor, specifically for use by young men. Since that time, with the addition of the ladies from Marian High and later adding the junior high, as well as the increased attendance at school events open to the public, a real need has risen for larger bathrooms for the school’s female population and renovating the men’s bathrooms for students and guests with physical disabilities.
The plan calls for new women’s restrooms in the east wing of the building in the current open airway next to the new elevator, starting on the first floor all the way to the fourth floor. This option would be more cost efficient and less disruptive to our students than trying to cut space from existing classrooms and offers the room needed for stall space.
There is still nearly $100,000 available from the matching gift.
The Leo J. & Albina Dreiling Trust has generously agreed to match up to $150,000 of every dollar after the first $100,000 has been raised for the special project for ACE 2017 Item #60. The next roughly $100,000 received will be matched dollar for dollar.
Go to https://tmp-m.org/ace to make your gift, or mail your gift today to TMP-Marian Alumni Assn., 1701 Hall Street, Hays, KS 67601. Please, also, reach out if you’d like to visit more about this opportunity. We will be making a few calls as well and appreciate your time, generosity, and prayers. Thank you for your support. May God bless you!
