I came to work after a drilling at the dentist to the joyous sound of jackhammers at work.

The posts are in, the fence erected and the Gilkeson enhancement project is underway. The fence surrounds the front of the building where the new science labs will be. The backhoe is already at work. The playground area is also fenced off in preparation for the construction of two new classrooms and office space. The new maple hardwood for the new gym floor has been delivered.

Here is a collage of pictures from the first days. It’s a lot more exciting than the root canal.
