The new gym at St. Matthew's Catholic School in Sherry Park, off
Indian River Road, was dedicated Tuesday by Bishop Walter Sullivan.
Kate Burlin, the school's development director, said fund-raising
for the 6,000-square-foot gym began three years ago. Donations and
PTA projects have raised $200,000 of the $430,000 goal. The school
has 530 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
