“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often”

Winston Churchill

First of all, I think that you will be amazed at the new look of our old building.  The orange lockers, black trim, and new paint on the walls have really brightened up the place.  I was excited about the building being repainted, but I did not expect the magnitude of the improvements.    

Many of you worked extremely hard at the end of a tough year to prepare our building for this endeavor and it was definitly worth the effort.  Thank you!

Because of the painting, the floors have been delayed a bit.  The 8^th grade hall is completely finished and others will follow.
