1st Build of school year = Successful Build

Many thanks to the following people who made our first Build a huge success: Sheri Hogsland, Jerome Bagget, Mike Brownlee, Jacqueline Bruhn, Federica and Roberto Attias, Elisabeth Wholfsky, Kevin Plottner, Peter Allison, Adam Jennings, Jon Sorrenson, Kimberly Cross, Chris Martin, Patrick Baggett, Emily Plottner, Lucy Allison, Alessandro and Elisa Attias, Makayla and Violet Sorrenson, Jasper Jennings, Eve Martin, Sky and Ginger.

The following projects were completed on Saturday November 14, 2009 in the Alternatives in Action preschool, Home Sweet Home:

Thanks to Adam Jennings and Mike Brownlee, the blinds are up in Room 2 and replaced the broken ones in our main classroom. It is already so much cooler in both rooms.

Jacqueline was enough to leave her warm home to drop off instructions and seeds early in the morning - then Federica, Elisabeth, Sky, Kimberly and the children weeded and reseeded both gardens! It's amazing how much they accomplished!

Jerome hung up the staff bulletin board outside - Ginger covered with paper, trimmed the edges and put up a heading "Staff Board." By the end of the week, you should find the weekly lesson plans, monthly snack menu and notice for upcoming evetns. Sheri Jerome also created a writing surface on the cabinet doors - we have to wait a few days before we can fully utilize. Look here to find quick daily messages and reminders.

Mike Brownlee brought in all of the parts needed to create balance beams and with the help of Jon Sorrenson, Chris Martin and Roberto assembled we now have at least 6 balance beams of various sizes. They were the hit of the playground today. We still need to varathane before the rains set in.

Kevin Plottner, Peter Allison and Roberto Attias - installed the privacy door to the bathroom. As an added safety precaution to avoid having small fingers crushed, I've purchased a device to prevent the door from closing all of the way; Sky is installing this afternoon. We did let the children try it out today; the older ones seemed very pleased to be able to finally get some privacy.

Inside Job (our contractors) are in the process of installing the kitchen cabinets in Room 2!

So thank you again to all who came by and made it all happen.
