Grades 3-5 to move into Upper Building after Winter Break

As we wait for the Upper Building’s concrete sub-floors to dry (a process that has taken much longer than anticipated), the finishing touches are being made to the beautiful new rooms of the Upper Building.

When our very patient 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students and faculty finally move into their new spaces they will enjoy spacious classrooms with radiant floor heat and super-insulated windows and skylights, hallways with exposed stone walls from the original buildings, sparkling new bathrooms, kitchen and tutoring rooms, and, of course, the beloved ship play-structure that is patiently awaiting the students’ return.

The multi-purpose room will be finished a few weeks later than the rest of the building, and once completed will offer a an open space for large-scale art projects, movement and performances, a sun-drenched, carpeted area for quiet activities, as well as a beautiful view of the School’s garden down to the Middle Building. We can’t wait to fill the new space with the laughter and light of our students, and look forward to a grand opening celebration early in 2012.
