Laura Roberston has been the University School liason for the Make-A-Wish foundation for a very special cause.  Alex is a second grader at University School who is currently receiving treatment for leukemia.  A representative for Make-A-Wish foundation contacted Laura about Alex and she has been instrumental in setting up and carrying through his wish. 

Alex's wish for a two-story playhouse with a "Sponge Bob Square Pants" theme has come to life under Laura's guidance.  Laura has lined up volunteers, secured donations from both University School families and local businesses, collected funds, purchased supplies, and helped paint the outside and inside, including the murals.  This project has been an enormous undertaking and Laura has given selflessly many hours to this cause that touches us so close to home. 

The grand opening for Alex's playhouse was November 13, 2004.  Representatives from various generous donors were present to show support.  Thanks to these donors. 

Thank you, Laura Robertson, for being with us at ETSU.
