"I love the new school, and the students are excited too. They love the color-coded tiles and the new playground," said [third-grade teacher D. Wells]. Construction CGM bid successfully in July 2003 to build the facility for $7.13 million, and the groundbreaking was held the following Aug. 28. At first construction was on schedule for completion in July 2004, but frequent bad weather and unanticipated problems with some supplies delayed the project, the final inspections and the finish work, until it was clear the new school would not be ready when school opened on Aug. 6. [Students began the school year in the old school and made] the move over to the new school later in the semester.
Great to see it finished! This is so exciting for teachers and students. A lot of parents took their first look at the newly finished school when they dropped off their kids.
