School began this week, and while a lot has been going on with our project, I haven't taken too many photos. Our staff, our students and their families have been very accommodating, and I appreciate their acceptance that with a project of this magnitude comes some inconvenience.  We are making adjustments to ensure that quality teaching and learning continues at Hale Kula.

Photos from today:

It was noisy this week when the workers used the concrete cutter and jackhammer to cut through the concrete to lay the pipes.  This is the area by the cafeteria where the custodial room. JPO room, and two restrooms will be built.  Workers had to remove all the roots from the palm trees so it took longer than expected to prepare the area.

Those white pipes are waste lines for the restrooms.  

If you look carefully, you can see a bright green string in the shape of a rectangle.  This is the layout for our new administration building, and it is huge!  In addition to the front office and area for our SASA and clerks, there will be a PCNC/Transition Center/PTO Room as well as a larger Health Room.  Also, there will be rooms for two vice principals (maybe we'll finally get a second VP), a conference/meeting room, and the technology hub for the school.
