Down it goes...

I posted previously about our town getting a new elementary school.  Well, the day has come for the old one to make way for the new one.
Last week, the last few days of school, they let school out early to allow staff to move stuff to the new school and they started knocking down the old building the day after Memorial Day. We had to drive by and see the progress a few times and watch the big trackhoes do the demolition.
We are very excited that in August our #7 and #8 kids will be some of the very first students to grace the halls of the new Monticello Elementary School.  How fortunate they are to be able to go to school in a brand new building.

everything is down, leaving the new school and the newish gymnasium.

looking straight at the new school from the road leading west to it. There will now be a nice parking lot in front for all the parents to park in at all the events held there. HOORAH!

Good Things:
Small town education where teachers know you outside school and you know them. Chances are you're in the same ward
Surf and Slurp is open
sleeping in
