Growing Walls

It is so exciting to see progress at the new location. I stopped there with my family on Saturday during a light sprinkle, and really enjoyed walking through the space that will be the new high school. The progress over the last week was encouraging, and was most evident on the wall of one side of the hallway.

As a reminder, the hallway will be the storm shelter space, and so has extra heavy duty construction. The cement blocks on one side of the hallway are probably about one third of their final height. There is rebar every few inches, and the inside of each cement block is filled with cement. As you walk down the hall, you see the doors standing upright for a number of the classrooms.

Another step completed this week was the installation of some plumbing lines. Some classrooms certainly need running water and drains. These include science labs, family consumer science, and art. Those rooms have sinks and drains planned, and now the drain lines are laid for those rooms.

One of our computer consultants, Phil, was also at the site on Saturday. He was planning the wireless network access points which will be installed there. Thanks, Phil!

We all know that OCA needs to get this move completed, and as quickly as possible. Please continue to pray for the fastest possible completion of this building.

Thank you,
Keith
