All Are Under Construction!






Imaginations are having to work less hard these days. The parking lot is given its final scrubbing. The soccer field is revealing for the first time its shallow bowl shape. The new parking lot is photographed for the first time, and so appears here with its first occupants—the workers’ vehicles and the Sturm trailers.
Perhaps the most dramatic advances are occurring on the theater site as we see the wall rise from Tuesday morning to Wednesday afternoon: the first from the east side and the second from the west. The second photo shows a number of interesting things, not only the new wall, but the metal frame work that will be the foundation for the raised seats just beyond the curved wall, as well as the temporary fire escape passageway that is a must until the cafeteria and Heritage Hall fire exits are completed. Also visible is the progress the workmen are making on the back wall that will be the back of the stage.
The students returned today, only superficially aware of all the progress that has been made since they left in early June. Sister Shauna, our president, told the girls about the advances in this morning’s opening assembly, and reminded them that they too are still under construction. Since that fits us all, it’s encouraging to be reminded of the fact every now and then. Their Builder and ours is the same!
