The Robinson Family Learning Resource Center
 
St. Francis High School has much to celebrate as it prepares to break ground for the new Science Suite and Learning Resource Center on June 1, 2010. John and Cindy Robinson, parents of two alumni, two current students and three future Spartans have made a substantial gift to the school. The Learning Resource Center will be named in their honor.
 
"We have been very blessed with the education our children have received at St. Francis," said John Robinson, who went on to say, "We are humbled to have the opportunity to have our family name on the new LearningResourceCenter. We are thankful for being able to be a part of this important stage of growth in the school's history. St. Francis depends on the support of all of us."
 
John's wife Cindy added, "As we considered our investment, we thought not only about our own seven children, but of our future grandchildren and all of their friends who will be able to benefit from this new facility."
 
The new Science Suite and Learning Resource Center will fulfill two key areas of the vision for St.FrancisHigh School. The construction will result in 20,000 gross square feet of additional space. The new Learning Resource Center is twice the size of the current library. Located on the main level, the Learning Resource Center will include a 28-seat teaching classroom, a 28-seat study hall and a 42-seat smart classroom among the amenities.
 
The Robinson Family Learning Resource Center will give our teachers and students a first-class facility in which to engage and learn. John and Cindy are truly special people and an important part of the St. Francis family. Their generosity helps keep our school more affordable for all students and families.
 
Construction of the new facility is scheduled to be completed in time to welcome students in the fall of 2011.
Make Your Gift Today!
 
We are a month away from the Ground breaking ceremony! This is an opportunity to celebrate the generosity of the St. Francis community. There is still time (and the need) to make a financial gift and help complete the dream.
 
Please return your Letter of Intent with your investment in the Completing the Dream capital campaign. If everyone helps in the most generous way they can, we will be successful in reaching our goal. The Letter of Intent not only communicates your financial support of the campaign, it also serves as collateral to assist in securing bridge financing during construction.
 
If you need another copy of the Letter of Intent or would like to make your gift online, go to www.sfhs.org to obtain the materials you need. We appreciate your generosity!
 
Should you have any questions regarding construction, the building or the campaign, please contact Tom Bednar, President of St. Francis High School at 630-668-5800 x1102.
