Scheduled report
The construction crews have been hard at work, and their progress is evident. They have
poured footings along the inside wall and have now moved on to the stem wall. This is a
significant milestone, and it brings us just another step closer toward a recognizable
structure. Additionally, construction workers have been focused on the east practice field,
which is an essential part of our school's programs. I would like to take a moment to provide
updates on this project and how it continues to take shape.
