Continued Progress!

Monday's weather was unfortunate.  High winds and heavy rain in the morning meant that the concrete pour could not be completed.  Workers poured the last of the footings for the new library media/student center, but the padding couldn't be poured.  The heavy rain meant that some of the work needed to be delayed because the ground was not dry enough.  We're hoping to get back-on-track next Wednesday with the pouring of the remaining SOG areas.

Notice the water that's accumulated in the footings? This is after the concrete was poured.

This is how it looked the next day - we were lucky to get that pour in so workers could prepare the slab on grade.

We temporarily relocated students in P11, P13, and P17 so workers could work on the walkway from the new building to Building A. The roof for the walkway will be completed during the summer, but the sidewalk had to be done now. 

We took a tour through the new classroom building.  The colors are rather bright, but I think we'll get used to them.  I really love the tiling in the student restrooms!  This is the girls' restroom.  

The flooring still has to be installed, but this is how it looks on the inside of the girls' restroom.

And this is the outside of the boys' restroom!  Do you know how we will remember which is their restroom?  Blue for boys; green for girls.  

By the way, the wash basins are not in the restrooms; they're outside.  Now kids can't play around because the teachers can see them when they're washing their hands.

This is the entryway on the bottom floor of the building.  Workers are still installing the other entry doors as well as some of the windows that are nearer the ceilings.
