More Than Halfway There!

I'm happy to report that, with little more than one month to go before students return for the new school year, our construction project is making excellent progress.  This past Thursday alone, we had 3 sizable flatbed trucks delivering supplies and equipment and a big crane lifting pallets of material onto our roof.  Our rough plumbing, electrical and data wiring are almost finished, the air conditioning units are being installed on the roof as we speak and duct work is going in.  Roofers have begun putting the new roof over the senior locker room and boiler room.  New windows have been installed in the science and computer labs. 

Next week work will begin in our gymnasium.  This includes window replacement and installation of 2 big ceiling mounted industrial fans which were donated to Preston by the Big Fan Company.  Our thanks go out to Preston parents Rosina & Vinny Mandile through whose efforts we received this wonderful donation.

We had to move out of our Main Office last week to allow the workers to install the plumbing and wiring for the lab above us.  It's been a real challenge to keep the office functioning as we relocate to wherever we can find a working computer in the mansion, but we're hopeful we can get back into our regular space next week.

Stay tuned for further details in the days ahead!
