One local middle school unveils its new addition to the public.

Wachter Middle school showed off the additions including a new kitchen--cafeteria and auditorium combined--2 science rooms- and a special education room.
The school also has a new gym floor.
The school's new science rooms feature anti-acid and anti-flammable counter tops that the students were happy to display.
Students and faculty say they have been impressed with the addition--specifically the cafetorium.

(Brian Beehler/Principal) "It was really kind of a wow factor especially people come into this space in the cafetorium you got the natural lighting you got the colors you got the beautiful stage."

The old kitchen at Wachter is now a weight room.
