Clarendon Hall dedicates Saints Wellness Center
SUMMERTON - On Nov. 26, Clarendon Hall held a ribbon cutting and dedicated its newly constructed Saints Wellness Center.
In welcoming students, parents, board members and donors to the ceremony, Head of School Kelley Wannamaker stated the facility would serve current and future generations of Saints.
Wannamaker then praised Wellness Campaign Chairman Mike Corbett and his wife, Tessa, for their vision, dedication and countless hours spent fundraising and physically laboring to make this project a reality.
In addressing the crowd, Corbett said, "The Saints Wellness Center is a direct result of God. It was ordained by Him, blessed by Him and completed by Him. Without God, this facility would not be here today."
Corbett thanked former Headmaster Phillip Rizzo Jr., Athletic Director Ritchie Way and the Board of Trustees for their willingness to step out on faith and construct the facility for the benefit of the students.
He also expressed appreciation to Mr. Billy Aycock of Aycock Construction.
"The school did not incur any debt in the construction of the Saints Wellness Center," stated Corbett as 100% of the construction costs were funded by Clarendon Hall's faithful donors. "God did exactly what He promised He would do."
After comments from Clarendon County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Erica Floyd and Chamber President Jason Montgomery, Wannamaker again thanked the donors for making the Saints Wellness Center possible. After the dedication and ribbon cutting, those in attendance were invited to tour the new facility.
