Construction continues...

Not everyone has been on summer vacation. Progress continues on the preschool and PAT building. The most recent progress includes painting, adding ceiling tile grids and vents and pouring sidewalks and an entryway.

Let there be light (and heat and air)

Just a quick update on the construction project! Prior to the 4th of July holiday, the building was wired and duct workwas installed.

Under the big top!

The top construction news this week is that the new preschool/PAT facility is almost under roof! The construction workers rolled out the insulation and began covering it with the metal roof this week. The picture is a little hazy because it was taken on the morning of one of the hottest days so far this year!

A room with a view...

Check out the view from the new Parents as Teachers office. The large picture window provides a lovely view of the preschool playground, which will be alive with activity in August when the new school year begins.

Masonry work completed

The final touches were added to the masonry work this week on the new preschool/PAT facility.
