Fall Break is just about over, and thankfully, the weather cooperated. "Little" projects were completed, but I think they were huge in the overall impact.

Here are some photos to explain what I mean:

The grass is growing nicely in the area in front of the new classroom building. Hopefully, we'll be able to use the area soon for recess and school-wide assemblies. We'll have to wait for the grass to grow evenly; right now, the area that was seeded is growing more quickly than the other area.

Last week, I mentioned the concrete pump and how it went over the library media/student center to work on the windows. VP Arikawa took some photos of the process since I did not have any.

Here's a great photo that shows the whole view of the building and the pump. The process never fails to amaze me!

We had some extra tiles and asked if we could accentuate the blank wall outside the restrooms in the new building. The top floor has the green tiles.

I came back to work after a 2-day workshop and was absolutely astounded at the floors in the new building. Our custodians did a phenomenal job of cleaning the floors in the learning hub and then applying several coats of wax. Originally, we were told that the rubber tiles would be easy to clean, but the flooring company didn't take into consideration the Wahiawa red dirt. Now we know that we need to apply wax when the floors are installed in the library media/student center.

This is a new sidewalk in the area by the new classroom building by J-building.

We had a week for Fall Break, so the custodians were only able to clean the learning hubs on the first and second floor and these classrooms. We're emphasizing Hale Kula Pride: Take care of yourself. Take care of others. Take care of our school.
