Molloy Addresses Emergency Sewer Damage<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Two weeks ago, Molloy\u2019s facilities staff discovered a major backup in the building\u2019s 60 year old sewage pipes. After an inspection with an exploratory camera, it was discovered that the pipe had collapsed outside the building\u2019s foundation. Further investigation uncovered damage that led all the way out to Manton Street. After careful thought, a decision was made to replace all of the pipes that run from the building and under the lawn and sidewalk out to the street. A crew was procured and work began on a Sunday. The project received round-the-clock attention and wrapped up in less than a week. The speedy and thorough repairs allowed school to operate normally without the need to close.<\/p>\n

Like a typical homeowner who has to address unforeseen circumstances like a pipe burst, so too does Molloy. We are in a position to address these types of emergencies thanks in large part to the support provided through the annual fund \u2013 the Fund For Molloy. Your gifts to our alma mater allow us to have the resources to address planned efforts such as nurturing our needs assistance program, and critical capital projects. Your gifts also ensure that we are able to deal with the unforeseen, such as the sewer pipe breakage earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To be transparent, the cost of the inspection, excavation, and replacement of the damaged pipes ranged in the area of $60,000. Thanks to careful thought by administrators and the hard work that was put into the emergency\/preventative maintenance, this appears to be a smart investment for the future.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, in November the Stanner Alumni Center announced the \u201cDrive for 125\u201d<\/strong> \u2026 this gift challenge matches your donations. Every $2 contributed to the Fund For Molloy through December 31st is matched by $1. That means your gift of $50 becomes $75, $100 becomes $150, and so on. Your generosity can help Molloy stay on track with its planned efforts as well as meet the challenges of unforeseen needs. Your kindness literally helps keep our school running!<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about the emergency repairs, the impact of your gifts, or the Drive for 125, please reach out to the Stanner Alumni Center at 718.441.9210 or email alumni@molloyhs.org<\/a> \u2026 Thank you for your continued generosity and Stanner spirit.<\/p>\n
