Community Open House for New Construction

On Friday, May 17th, Buckingham Friends School opened its doors to show off its newest and most significant addition to campus: the new gymnasium! Families, alums, and other community members attend an Open House to view the newly renovated space. As part of the school's strategic plan, the gym began construction in June 2023 and commenced in early May 2024. The new gym is named after the former teacher Steve Bernardini, who retired in Spring 2023 after a 42-year-long teaching career at BFS. The new space includes an indoor and outside basketball court, a new kitchen space, and an annex connector into the auditorium. The school has also been working on a new stand-alone science building over the past year, which will be ready to use this upcoming Fall. It was wonderful to have so many people join the school on such a momentous occasion, celebrating the newest additions to our beautiful campus!
