Farm Hill students and faculty returned to a big surprise this week: a newly renovated gymnasium featuring a fresh gym floor that promises to enhance the experience for both athletes and sports enthusiasts alike.
During the winter break, extensive work was done to upgrade the gym's flooring with a brand-new, improved laminated wood surface. The new flooring not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also offers a higher level of durability and safety for all types of physical activities.
In addition to the new floor, the gym has also been outfitted with freshly painted basketball court lines, making it ready for exciting basketball games. But that’s not all—two simulated courts have been added to the gym, allowing students and staff to enjoy a wider variety of sports. These courts are designed for activities such as volleyball, pickleball, badminton, and other racket sports, broadening the gym's versatility and providing more opportunities for the community to engage in recreational activities.
PE Teacher Chris Serra shared his excitement about the update, saying, "We are very grateful for this new renovation and are excited to start using the gym for all kinds of activities. This new flooring and addition of extra courts will help us create a more inclusive environment for all sports enthusiasts at Farm Hill."
As of Wednesday, January 8, 2025, students have been able to take full advantage of the upgraded gym, with PE classes and after-school activities already benefiting from the improvements. The update is expected to serve the Farm Hill community for years to come, offering a space that supports physical health, wellness, and school spirit.
The renovation is part of the school’s ongoing efforts to provide top-notch facilities for students and to foster a culture of active living. With these new additions, Farm Hill’s gym is now better equipped than ever to support a wide range of sports and activities.
For all those looking forward to getting into action, the newly renovated Farm Hill gym is ready for a fresh start in 2025!
