Board members, Leadership Council members, donors, families and friends gathered to celebrate the long-awaited opening of Clarke Florida’s facility expansion.
The newly expanded space features two additional classrooms, an expansive learning center and a performance stage, offering enhanced opportunities for students and the community.
“Clarke celebrated friends and donors who helped make this expansion a reality. We are honored to have the support of so many, including the Murray family, who donated in honor of John L. Murray, a long-time friend and contributor to Clarke’s mission,” said Melanie Jensen, Director of Development at Clarke Florida.
Jensen added, “We are so grateful to all of our donors, including the Zaroulis, Burkhardt, and Gilman families, as well as the Warren and Augusta Hume Foundation, whose gifts made this project possible.”
The event highlighted the importance of community support in advancing Clarke Florida’s mission and providing students with enriched educational experiences.
