 In the 1950s, the foundation financed and built the school's freestanding gymnasium and built and equipped its large agricultural building.A memorial gift that still provides for the school today is an endowment set up after the death of Kate Bitting Reynolds, Will's wife, with the yearly dividends to be used solely for the upkeep of grounds, exterior beautification projects and playground equipment.As of 2008, the endowment's total value is now more than three-quarters of a million dollars and easily supports its intended use.
