CLEANING UP OUR ACT

In a non-profit organization, the Annual Fund provides opportunities to strengthen general operations. As Delphian’s “bread and butter” fund, it allows the school to channel energy where it’s most needed at any given time and to undertake projects that would be otherwise impossible. Every gift to the Annual Fund is valued and honored.

A truly exciting addition this past year, made possible by the annual fund, was the student laundry room upgrade. Prior to the upgrade, there often weren’t enough washers or dryers available when the students needed them, and much of the equipment was fairly old. With the new laundry room, the service capacity doubled due to the efficient use of the space with gleaming, new, stackable washers and dryers.

The new machines are large and easy to understand and use. An additional extra-large washer and extra-large dryer allow for washing and drying bedding or other large loads.

Having the laundry room the girls and boys now have their completely renovated and own separate getting new washers and dryers really makes sure all my clothes areas within the laundry room. As it turned out, part are perfect!

Additionally, the girls and boys now have their own separate areas within the laundry room. As it turned out, part of the previously existing theater storage space could be used to extend the length of the room. This allowed us to create the two fully separate spaces.

The new laundry room is so much nicer than what it used to be; the new machines are so much more efficient and I’m glad we have those. There are special places to fold laundry in there, instead of lugging it to your room.

The students and staff send a huge “THANK YOU” to all of you who donated! Students love their beautiful new laundry room and greatly appreciate the care and attention that was given to this part of their boarding lives at Delphian.
