Wow! Lots of Progress Since I Went on Vacation

We were only gone for one week, but in that short time, there was noticeable progress! I know the workers are trying to get as much done as possible before the school year begins.  Teachers returned on Thursday, and thankfully, all the renovated rooms were completed on-time, but there's lots to do before our Meet and Greet on Monday afternoon when families are invited to see the new building.

So without further ado, here are some photos taken on Thursday and Friday when I returned from my vacation.

The exteriors of Portables 15 and 16 were painted; they look so much nicer!

They are preparing to pour the concrete for the covered play court posts.  We can't wait for this structure to be completed so our students can have physical education, rain or shine.  Additionally, we'll have a venue for school-wide assemblies.

The roofline of the Student Center is taking shape!

The grass stolons were laid out on Friday morning . . . .

. . . and then mulch was sprayed over it.  The landscapers will be spreading grass seeds on the remaining area in the front of the new classroom building.  With luck, we can have a nice grassy area for recess and PE within a few months. 

Do you know what this is? This is from a company called Feek and it's the new trend in furniture. This set is upstairs. Students can sit in the learning hub and work, read, meet in groups, etc. It's really comfortable and lightweight but durable.

This is on the bottom floor (see how the colors match with the flooring?).  We are waiting for other furniture to arrive for the learning hub which is an additional learning space for students.  We are excited to see how we can use this area to engage students in their learning.
