Construction has begun on the replacement of our gym windows. We ask that you use extreme caution in the school parking lot and around the gym area as construction workers work to update our building. We would like to send a huge thank you to the two community members who gifted nearly $500,000 to the school for the gym window project. Most of the windows on the gym are original to the building and are nearly 100 years old! Thank you for your patience as we work to update our beautiful school building. Timing may not be ideal, but we are at the mercy of construction companies and lead time for ordering products. It may look messy for a bit, but will look fantastic when it is complete!
