Shining a Brighter Light on Learning at Gurney!
Exciting things are happening at Gurney Elementary! We're currently upgrading our classroom and hallway lights to eco-friendly LEDs. This means two big benefits:
Saving Energy: These new lights use less electricity, helping our school go green and reduce costs!
Brighter Learning: ✨ The dimmable LEDs will provide better quality light in each classroom, creating a brighter and more comfortable environment for learning.
Check out these sneak peeks of the project in progress!
Wishing our entire school community a safe and joyful Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆
Harris Stadium Track renovation project is on target. Yesterday, some unlying asphalt base was replaced.
The iconic roof of our high school gym is getting a much-needed upgrade! Thanks to age and its unique design with steel trusses above the roof deck, we're using a special fluid-applied membrane to ensure this valuable asset is protected from the elements for years to come. A big shout-out to @ThenDesignArch for designing this innovative and cost effective solution!
Block walls for the dugouts on the new varsity softball field are being constructed now and the project is on time with the contractors taking advantage of the sunny weather this week.
Photos of paving work happening this week on the 7-12 Campus. Annual paving improvements of this type attend to the wear and tear our driveways and parking lots that happen over time. Projects such as these extend the useful life of existing facility assets.
The new varsity softball field located at the 7-12 Campus is taking shape. The construction of the dugouts has begun with the footers for the foundations being poured and the infield being cut in according to the survey markings. More work will continue throughout the summer and the facility will be ready for play for softball season.
