Post Work Weekend Update

For the past few weeks we’ve had a paint crew at Cherry Street spraying the ceilings in all the classrooms and the cafeteria with a fresh coat of paint.  The results are terrific!

Saturday, Jan 21st we had another great work day at the Cherry Street Campus.  About 15-20 individuals showed up ready and willing to get some tasks done.  Our main area of focus was the 2nd floor classrooms.

We spent a great deal of time on the woodwork and cabinetry, getting those areas ready for painting.  We also had a couple folks pull the tile out of the infirmary and admin office so those areas can be prepped for new flooring.

Next on the list is to get the 1st floor classrooms prepped for painting.  It is our hope to have another work day on Sat. Feb 4th to accomplish that goal.  Then we are planning to get the woodwork painted and some color on the walls.

We have a team at Cherry Street now, preparing the walls for paint (repairing plaster cracks, skim coating drywall walls, etc).  We also hope to have the other areas of flooring removed that are scheduled to be replaced.

We’ve also discussed opening up the school at other hours for volunteers to come in to work (daytimes, evenings, Sundays, etc).  If there are particular times during your week that you feel you might be able to put a little time in, please let us know.  We will do all that we can to facilitate that for you.

For now, mark your calendars for FEB 4, 2012!!
