After years of
monitoring, testing, planning, moving, and construction, the Newman Elementary
School is ready for students to arrive on Wednesday, September 5th. The $27.4 million project is coming in
within the planned budget, and it will provide an appropriate, safe, healthy,
and secure learning environment for Newman’s students and staff.
Thanks to the Newman
staff and parent community for their extraordinary patience and support over
the last few years as we prepared for and then renovated the building. Their hard work, professionalism,
encouragement, and good spirits buoyed all the students and those involved in
this ambitious and sometimes complicated project. The Newman staff will have an opportunity to personally
thank the many folks involved in this project at a “Newman Homecoming
Celebration” scheduled for Thursday, October 18th, but I want to
take this opportunity to extend a hearty congratulations and thank you to the
following folks for their incredible energy, involvement, and dedication. These folks—and many others—made it all
happen!
