Capital Campaign Phase II
Invest In Our Future
Southland
Academy
is committed to providing a firm foundation upon which each
student can build a strong mind, body, and spirit. As our
school grows in tradition and history, we are entering a new
phase of learning. To insure that each student is prepared in
the areas of academics, technology, arts, and athletics, we
must continue to enhance our programs and facilities and
strive for excellence. Cooperative efforts between our
parents, students, faculty, and community give Southland a
strong base on which to build an exciting future. Successful
Capital Funds Campaigns will ensure that
Southland
Academy
maintains its role as a leader in private education for future
generations.
Southland Academy’s first Capital Campaign, Phase I, came to a close in 2004
marked by significant improvements in campus facilities and
growth in our endowment fund. We are sincerely grateful for
the loyal support and generosity of our donors who made this
possible.
Now, as Phase II of the Invest In Our Future
Campaign continues, we call on our Southland family and
friends to give thoughtful consideration to supporting this
endeavor. We are continuing to seek the necessary
support to fund these projects. If you have not yet
pledged, please carefully consider doing so.
The two objectives of Phase II are the renovation of the
Melvin T. Kinslow Gymnatorium and to continue to grow the
Southland Endowment Fund, both to better serve our students
and families.
Construction on the renovations began in the spring of
2005, and we celebrated completion with a ribbon cutting
ceremony on November 14, 2006. Enhancements to the new
facility include larger and nicer restrooms, increased seating
capacity, and central heating and air conditioning. The
lobby, which overlooks the gym floor, has increased in size
allowing guests to enjoy a game or performance while visiting
the upgraded concession stand. New girls and boys
dressing rooms, a conditioning room, conference room, laundry,
and coaches offices better serve our students, faculty, and
visitors. Complimentary to the facility is a larger
stage with stage dressing rooms, and a state of the art sound
system providing our school community improved opportunities
for cultural as well as athletic events.
Brochures fully explaining plans for the Phase II funds are
available in the Development Office, and we welcome your
questions.
We sincerely thank those of you who have already made a
pledge to the Campaign. As you can see, your funds are
already at work.
Please make your pledge today! An investment in
Southland
Academy
is an investment in the lives of generations to come!
