Friday, August 15

Yesterday, Gary Willis visited Hale Kula to update the grantors on the progress of our project.  Mr. Willis is from the Office of Economic Adjustment in Washington, D.C, and the project manager for our construction grant.  At his last visit in April, he asked what the contingency plans were if the administration building was not completed in time for school.  I remember smiling and saying, "The construction company said they would be done."  Yesterday, he recalled that conversation as he took photos of our new offices.  Kudos to our contractors for their continued commitment to our school project!  He was amazed that we were actually working out of the new administration building!

Today is a holiday, Statehood Day, but workers are on campus, completing work that can best be done when school is not in session.  Hopefully, I will be able to share a photo on Monday of the completed office!

Work continues on the classroom building.  

We are in the hub area (hallway) looking towards building B.  On the bottom floor, there will be 4 classrooms (grades 2 and 3), one special education room, a teachers' workroom, and a therapy room for district providers.

This is the restroom area; toilets will be inside, and the sink area is outside so teachers can keep an eye on the students when they go to the restroom.

Workers are pulling co-ax cable today and checking data drops in the classrooms.

We scheduled a pour for the concrete slab for the outdoor dining pavilion adjacent to the cafeteria.

Workers are removing the plywood so the glass windows and doors can be installed.

Yesterday, the glass for the principal's office was installed.  Now I have a clear view of the office (and they have a clear view of me).
