2022 FUND-THE-NEED

It’s been 18 years since the carpet was laid in the hallways of Saint John the Baptist Catholic School and it’s showing its age!

There are stains that the strongest chemicals cannot treat, and tears that defy repair. Because of the age of the carpet, it is no longer possible for us to find matching pieces of trim or patches to fill in tears.

The carpet is well past its lifespan and it’s time for a facelift!

THE PLAN

There are rooms that would be better served without carpet, but with hard surfaces like LVT tile. Places like Preschool, Art, and Kindergarten will be easier to clean-up with hard surfaces and so as we make plans we are involving our teachers and thinking ahead!

In the summer of 2022, we will remove all the furniture from the classrooms and starting July 1 our contractor will remove all the carpet and hard surfaces and install LVT in those rooms that request it, and carpet tiles in other rooms.

Carpet tiles are easier to install and easier to maintain. When there is a stain, you can simply remove the tile with the stain and replace it! Our second floor Middle School was outfitted with carpet tiles and it is serving our school very well!
