The new multiuse buildings on the Mountain View and Los Altos high school campuses, designed to house 350-seat theaters, are scheduled for completion this fall. The buildings are part of the $58 million bond measure approved in June 1995.

The buildings provide an acoustical and architectural shell for a state-of-the-art theater/auditorium, but the equipment and furnishings to make it functional are not included in the building fund.

An estimated $300,000 must be raised to provide such necessities as stage lights, curtains, sound equipment and projectors.

The Performing Arts Facilities Fund has been launched as a project of the Los Altos Cultural Association under Chairman John Moss. Superintendent Rich Fischer and high school principals Pat Hyland and George Perez lead the list of advisors.

Tax-deductible donations may be made to the Performing Arts Facilities Fund, 171 Main St., No. 242, Los Altos 94022.

For additional information, call 949-5679.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
