• If you have driven by the school, it is easy to see that we have a new window project going on. This project is made possible through state funding as well as a community donation. Winter, while we are in school, is clearly not the best or easiest time to complete this project, but we are moving forward while the funding is available. We are a flexible group, and the carpenters are too. So far, the construction has been going very smoothly. The new windows that are already in place are quite beautiful. They let in more light, let us see more of our magnificent view, and are energy efficient.
