Bruce Krier foundation donates $50,000 to OCS

The Random Lake-based Bruce Krier Charitable Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant to Ozaukee Christian School that will be used to renovate additional space for larger classrooms for the 2020/21 school year.

The non-denominational Christian school, which moved to the Town of Trenton in Washington County after operating for many years in Saukville and in Port Washington, has seen a 20% increase in enrollment since relocating to the 40-acre site, officials said.

The site includes an existing 22,000-square-foot building, which the school purchased in July 2019, raising $850,000 to buy and renovate the property.

Officials are now seeking to raise another $750,000 in the next two years through their 20/20 Vision building campaign.

The funds will allow for the renovation of the remaining 15,000 square feet of the building through a three-phase project.

The grant will support the completion of 4,000 square feet, making room for 30 additional students and increasing the school’s capacity by more than 40%.

Volunteers completed demolition projects this spring to prepare the site and contractors began work in June.

In addition, the school will hold a kite-flying day at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 9, in the parking lot of the school, 1214 Hwy. 33.

 The event is open to the community.
