Final finishing touches by sub-contractors are being added to the new Book Cliff Elementary School at Green River. Principal Blaine Evans reports that he is anticipating moving the lower six grades and the kindergarten to the new school about the last of February, the date depending on the last finishing and the final inspection. The building features electric heat throughout, and refrigerated air conditioning; it Is fully carpeted and has a public address system and intercom throughout the school. There is a size gym, with its own public address system and a stage with built-in dimmers and other facilities for putting on plays and assemblies. There is a media center, and a student commons area, with special rooms for remedial reading and for music and dancing. The kitchen Is especially well-planned and all the meals for both the elementary and the high school will be prepared there. The School Board purchased a van, and Is having it equipped with thermos containers, and other facilities for transporting the food to the High School. The educational programs will remain the same, Principal Evans states, with the same teachers for this year. When the contract was let, there was no provision for playground equipment, and money will have to be" raised locally to provide that, he said. An Open House Is planned when the building is finished, and the community will be invited to come and dedicate the new school. |
