On Friday, May 2, the MBS community gathered behind the Simon Athletic Center for a celebratory “ribbon cutting” to officially mark the opening of the newly renovated Athletic Training Room. What started in the fall as an idea to support our beloved MBS Trainer Daisuke “Dice” Sato with a few pieces of new equipment by some thoughtful and generous parents evolved into a much more extensive renovation, thanks to a substantial donation.
Instead of replacing a few items in the existing Training Room, a complete renovation and expansion of the existing room took place over the winter, doubling the size of the space and allowing for the purchase of all new equipment. The $120,000 renovation includes new taping tables, a stretching table, a new whirlpool, new flooring, lighting and paint, as well as a new ice machine and refrigerator.
In her remarks, Head of School Liz Morrison shared, “We saw the Weight Room renovated, the Library reimagined, and now the Training Room. All of these projects are the result of people caring about MBS, caring about you, and being committed to supporting projects that enhance the spaces you use.”
Many thanks to those who supported the project.
