We had a short work week due to the Independence Day holiday. Happy Birthday, America!

This morning as I approached McNair Gate, I noticed that the traffic lights outside the gate were out. That is never a good sign because it indicates that electricity is out. Sure enough, when I got to school, there was no electricity. The contractor said that most of the workers required power in order to do their job, so I worried that we would lose a day's work. Thankfully, electricity came back on at about 8:00. Whew! I breathed a sigh of relief.

Here's an update of what's happening this week:

Finally! Portables 12, 13, and 17 were removed and transported to Campbell High School. We can see the entire front of the classroom building!

The floor tiles for A-building were laid this week, and workers were applying wax today. Next week, the custodians will move the furniture and boxes back and they can clean the floors in B-building.

On Tuesday, workers poured the concrete for the walkway from the new classroom building to the basketball court. Now, the landscaping can begin! Lots of tilling before we can grow grass.

I was thrilled to see that the tree between the Administration building and A-building is flowering! I don't know what kind of tree this is, but I will find out from the landscapers.
