It has been awhile since we last posted an update on the school progress, so here is a quick snippet to what has been happening.
We are nearing the end! We have incurred some bumps in the past few months, but those have been fixed or are currently being ironed out. The ceiling grid is almost in, but is currently waiting for final inspections to take place. The bathrooms are nearing completion with most of the sinks, toilets, and partitions installed and wall tile completed. The whiteboards and bulletin boards were installed in the classrooms and projectors will be mounted in the coming weeks. Lighting, fire systems, and HVAC are all completed or are near completion with inspections already passed or will be inspected soon. The access points are here onsite and are awaiting the dust to settle to be installed.
The new office entrance had a hurdle to overcome, but has been remedied and the door frame is in and drywall to be installed in the next day or so. The majority of any work left to be completed would be floor tile and carpeting and some painting. The kitchen is almost completed with only the kitchen sink and appliances to be installed once the flooring is done.
Outside, the excavating for the playground has been completed with some minor adjustments to be made. Components for the border for the playground will be ordered in the next day or so as well. We are hoping to acquire a playground system from another site and are waiting for that situation and deal to play out. The preschool playground has some minor excavating to be completed and the fencing to be installed. The seeding of the grass is slotted to being in August when the heat of the summer has hopefully subsided.
Please continue to pray for the process overall including safety for the workers, inspections to go as planned, and the campaign to continue in a positive direction, of which it currently is doing. Also, look on the Facebook page or website in the future for information about dedication of the school building. Tentative dates have been set, but cannot be set for sure until we have keys in hand to our new building! To God be the Glory!
