Bynum school has reached its max capacity with student enrollment.

“We have a huge waiting list of families that want to get into Bynum school and right now we are at capacity with over one-hundred twenty students, so we don’t have space for all the people who want to get in.” said Bynum school executive director Keri St John.

Bynum has relied heavily on the community to receive funding in the last forty years.

The school will have events celebrating Bynum’s 40th anniversary throughout the year and the money that is fundraised will go right back into the school.

“The community has supported Bynum school. We don’t receive any state or federal funding, we rely on tuition that covers a third of our budget and the rest is through donations,” said Keri St John.
