They started to get the ground ready and we got excited!
They set up trailers for the workers.
We had a groundbreaking ceremony!
The construction began and we started to see the changes!
Beam Ceremony
People from the community came to sign a beam. This was the final piece of steel!
We had a special ceremony to celebrate the steel part being finished!
They lifted our beam to the top of the school!
They placed a tiny tree on top!
Inside the trailer they checked the plans and prepared for each step in the building process.
Outside the construction continued!
Exterior walls were taking shape around our courtyard.
Last summer the bricks were placed on the exterior of our school.
In the fall, teachers got to visit our new school.
Back inside, Mrs. Taylor climbed the
Grand Staircase!
Around every corner we saw new things!
