The building will benefit teachers and students, said Paul Harrell, the schools chief education officer.

‘(With this building), were providing for every discipline within the school science, art, history, math, English, language,’ Harrell said.

All Vacaville Christian students and their parents are expected to attend the Aug. 30 event, Harrell said.

Harrell is glad the community is supporting the event and the schools development.

‘I think the community coming together and more than just our community, the overall community coming together to bless this site is very important to us,’ Harrell said.

‘We think of ourselves as a part of the fabric of this community.’

The event will begin at 11 a.m. at 1117 Davis St. in Vacaville.
