The new Elementary Complex will build 4 needed kindergarten classrooms, an art room, needed administrative office space, as well as an additional kitchen and cafeteria.

The new cafeteria is a key point in the expansion.  It’s addition will double the cafeteria seating capacity of the Drew Central campus, and will allow Drew Central students have their noon meal, during a more appropriate time frame.
