The future of the Menlo School just took another huge step forward when the ribbon was cut to the new Menlo Athletics Center.
This amazing building, part of the Challenge Menlo program, will be the new middle school and high school gym. The Athletics Center was opened the 24th of August, and will mark a Menlo historic occasion. The day it was opened, a huge celebration was hosted by Menlo, serving mini hot dogs, free ice cream, and cupcakes. It was the day before Menlo would start classes, too.
As everyone filed into the new athletics center, the Menlo band was playing and the ceremony began. It started by all the sports players from all the different sports walking down the new gym floor, holding a banner with the sports name on it. Norm Colb, headmaster of Menlo school, then began his speech on the new gym. Many other individuals made speeches, too, and finally the ribbon was going to be cut.
Student council presidents Andreas Katsis and Jessica Juan cut the ribbon and the new Menlo school Athletics Center was open, one step closer to a better Menlo future.
