While we have been enjoying the long hot days of summer, the men and women of LGC Pence have been busy working on remodeling and adding to our school. I know that many of you, like me, check the progress every time we drive by the school. I had the chance today to look at the inside for the first time in over a month and I wanted to share with you the pictures I took. You can see that there has been lots of progress inside and out. As with any construction project, unexpected challenges have arisen but rest assured that school will open and classes will start September 8th. However there will still be construction going on in areas around the school as the entire project is not scheduled to be completed until December. In addition the parking lot/bus loop will be done in the summer of 2016. (Click on the pictures to make them larger and check out the details!)

Walls have been torn down in the office area, the storage room has been removed to make space for the new cafeteria, and they are digging outside of Room 3 in preparation for the new building. I was able to put on a hard hat this afternoon and see the progress for myself. Read on to see photos of what lies behind the fence….. Continue reading
