Shamrock Fall 2011

The new South Campus classrooms and gathering spaces already have made many immediate and positive enhancements to curriculum and programming at Chandler School, and will continue to do so as faculty and students get further acclimated to their new surroundings. However, even as the last details of construction are completed, there still remains the hurdle of paying off the debt incurred as Chandler School made the critical investment in Middle School facilities and gymnasium remodel. As of December 8, the Commitment to Excellence: Chandler South Campus Campaign school had raised more than $10.6 million toward the $15 million price tag for the renovated South Campus. The majority of the total raised to date has come from Chandler School’s First Families listed below who responded early and generously when the school was compelled to act boldly to advance its mission. Included in that list is a recent donation to name the Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Johnston Middle School Office and Reception Area, a gift made possible through the efforts of devoted past parents. Additional naming opportunities remain for several areas of the campus. For more information, please contact Director of Development Laura Dicovitsky, ldicovitsky@chandlerschool.org or 626-795-9990.
