In case you missed it here, we had a bit of work done over this holiday break. A shiny new boiler was installed, to replace the previous monster (estimated at 90+ years old!). AND, we re-tiled our school foyer and front stairwell. Stop by when you get a chance to see the finished product in person!
Holiday elves, hard at work
While our school and transition programs are taking a much-needed break, a team of holiday elves has invaded the school building! We're replacing our nearly 100-year-old boiler AND re-tiling our entryway.

Finished!
Thanks to a dedicated group of parents and friends who came out to help us move a few Saturdays ago, a committed teaching team who has spent innumerable off-the-clock hours unpacking and organizing, (and some VERY flexible students!), we are grateful to have our classrooms up and running in their beautiful new space.
The top two photos are our North classroom; the bottom two are our South classroom.
Making progress
The construction teams finished work on our second floor last week, and the cleaning crew came through to spruce things up a bit. I've never seen those floors so shiny!
From top-to-bottom: The top two photos are our north side classroom (previously carpeted). The bottom two are our south-side classroom. Both have new floors, newly painted walls and ceilings, and an added chair rail / vinyl wainscotting along the bottom of the walls
Under Construction: A holiday surprise
Students and staff returned from Winter Break this year to a welcome surprise - Santa's elves had begun renovations on the school's second-floor classrooms. Those two classrooms had been in great need of a little TLC! With new floors, patched and painted walls & ceilings, and the addition of some durable wainscoting, the rooms will look good as new! They're not -quite- finished, but here's a sneak peek of the work-in-progress ...
