The students, along with teachers, school district officials and residents, celebrated the construction milestone by signing a steel beam that will be hoisted into place as a permanent part of the new 122,000-square-foot Catto School at Westfield Avenue and Dudley Street.
The new school will ease overcrowding and provide quality education for 540 pre-kindergarten through 6th grade students. The new school will include several additional classrooms as well as common areas such as a library/media center, auditorium and gymnasium.
As part of the Demonstration Project, the Camden County Boys & Girls Club will fully fund a new community center with a swimming pool and meeting rooms. The new Boys & Girls Club will be attached to the Catto School and available to students and residents.
