Senator Helming Secures $75,000 for Auburn Junior High School Auditorium

GENEVA – Senator Pam Helming today announced that she secured $75,000 in grant funding to update and repair the Auburn Junior High School auditorium audio-visual systems. The installation includes replacing microphones, mixing consoles, and a projector. These upgrades will make it possible for the Auburn Enlarged City School District to support a wide variety of functions, including District-wide concert activities, high-profile speaking engagements, theatrical performances, and music rehearsals.

“Investing in education doesn’t just mean increasing foundation aid. It means furthering our children’s educational experiences and enhancing the opportunities for our young people, our families, and our community. With this funding, the Auburn Enlarged City School District will be able to make much-needed upgrades to the Auburn Junior High School auditorium. This will provide students and the community with an up-to-date venue able to accommodate a variety of different community events. This project has been a top priority of Superintendent Pirozollo and the school administration. I am proud to partner with them on this project that will benefit the Auburn community,” Senator Helming said.

Auburn Enlarged City School District Superintendent Jeffrey Pirozzolo said, “I would like to personally thank Senator Helming for being such a great supporter of the Auburn Enlarged City School District. The $75,000 that Senator Helming secured for our school district will allow us to put a brand new speaker system in the auditorium at Auburn Junior High School. The system is very outdated and can barely be heard by anyone. Again, Thank you so much to Senator Helming for all that she does for the children and community here in Auburn.”
