Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Phase II of our Auditorium Revitalization Project to refurbish and revitalize the historic auditorium at GW Childs Elementary School and bring a state of the art performance & programming space to the school & community.
Phase I, completed in 2016, replaced the projector, projector screen, and repaired broken seating throughout the auditorium. In Phase II, we will be working with the NICE community to bring a new sound system and lighting to the auditorium. This project will continue to enhance this space and unlock the potential of this space for student engagement, performance, and learning.
We are excited to embark on this project with the school community and our community of neighbors & friends. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
"What Is Your Life's Blueprint?"
Did you know that on October 26, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke in the GW Childs Auditorium? On that date, he gave a speech titled "What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?" to the students of Barratt Junior High School which previously occupied the building that is now GW Childs Elementary School.
Want to get involved in Phase II of our
Auditorium Revitalization Project?
NICE is made up of a small but mighty team of volunteers and we are always looking for dedicated community members to help support larger projects like our Auditorium Revitalization Project.
