Beautiful Fall Days = Great Construction Progress

After some rainy wet weather, our construction team has been very grateful for the beautiful, sunny fall days so that work can continue on our building (without all that mud!). Lots has been happening both outside the school building, as well as interior work on the kitchen. Enjoy the latest photos!

Rainy Week Construction Progress (9/26-9/30)

It was one of the first rainy weeks since our construction began earlier this summer (thankfully!!), but fortunately it didn't slow things down too much. On Wednesday, the crews were up on the the roof of our building early in the morning putting up a giant tarp to protect the work area from the worst of the rain. Additionally, work began this week removing bricks from the outer wall of the undercroft (beside the kitchen) as they get ready to expand that space and add additional bathrooms!

Building Update: Week of September 19-23

Just 12 weeks into our building project, and so much has changed on campus! Where there was once a hill, the framing for new walls is growing daily for the additional 4 classroom spaces. The interior of the office and former Jr. Kindergarten classroom are now being reinforced as our construction team plans to build up, adding a second story to that half of the building. It is exciting for everyone to get to watch the space transforming before our eyes!

Construction Progress - Second Week of School

We've had a great second week of school, and several days of nice fall-like weather has been great for our construction crews as they continue to make great progress on our project. The week started with the beginnings of the foundation for the addition, and in no time at all, the starts of walls were in place. It is great fun to watch the transformation happening each and every day!

This week, our Kindergarten students made and delivered cards to thank the team from Chamberlain Construction for their hard work building our new school. The full construction team, including our architects from Rust Orling, came for a walk-through to see all the exciting progress as well.
