The New Cafeteria Area
A lot has happened since last time. They are measuring dirt to make the new cafeteria and stage area level. The new cafeteria will be four feet higher than the old cafeteria, art room and music level. The old art room ceiling will also need to be raised. It will raise about 8 feet and then the old ceiling will be removed from underneath after the new ceiling is built.
In order to make the new addition area, they are using a tool that will tell them if there is too much or too little dirt. Then, if it is correct a compress roller machine goes over the area and smooths it with giant weights in the roller. It packs the dirt together so that the dirt doesn't slowly sink down over time. Once all of that is done the area is ready for the foundation to be poured. Hannah, Kendal, Tyler, Brooke, Layla

The New 3rd, 4th & 5th Grade Classrooms
They are also working on the new classroom addition in the back of the building. They are putting pipes in the ground so that water can flow from the roof, down into the pipes underground. They also have cement down with rebars in them to mark the perimeter of the classrooms. The current outside wall will become an inside wall and it will be part of the hallway in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classroom area. The old playground will eventually be returned behind this new addition area. Hannah, Kendal, Tyler, Brooke, Layla
