🔗 Colon Schools - Potential Auxiliary Gym Survey
👉 https://shorturl.at/YRBKY
As part of our mission to expand 🏫 programs, offerings, and facilities, our Auxiliary Gym Exploratory Committee is exploring a new gym space that serves both athletic ⚽ and community 🤝 needs. The committee, which is made up of around 20 community members from diverse areas, has met regularly since August. They’ve discussed feedback from the summer survey, explored gym use ideas, and evaluated accessibility 🚪 and benefits for both students 🎓 and community members. They even toured 🚌 local school district auxiliary gyms for inspiration! In October, the committee focused on defining the project's scope and preparing this survey to gather input from our community.
