Landscaping at the new school

If you haven't driven by lately...

The landscaping crew has been hard at work putting in an extensive sprinkler system in ALL of the front areas of the school. We will be able to water the trees, the beds, and the garden south of the library. Our school is going to be a jewel along Memorial Drive!

They were working on finishing up the canopy work on the front drive, the bus drive and the tower yesterday. Those areas are looking great.

The building looks very close to being finished - from the outside. There are still many weeks/months of work to be done to the inside.

I'll be taking another small group of MWE staff to tour on August 11. We will take lots of pictures and post them here very soon after the tour.

If you are anywhere in the area you will certainly want to drive by. The fencing is down so you can even drive through the front drive. It's very complicated.....you can go all around the outside drive and back to the light OR part of the way in you turn left and go to the parking area OR drive all the way across the front and then turn left into the parking area OR drive all the way around the front and go straight to exit in the turn right lane OR go all the way around the front, don't turn left into the parking lot but turn left into the 'go back to the light at Clear Springs' lane OR get lost in rambling around among the trees!!!
