3 weeks until school starts

As I write this on Monday, August 17, this promises to be a busy week. Let me update you on a few projects. The new parts for the Meyer playground swing sets will arrive over the next two days and installation will commence immediately. As soon as that's done, we'll complete the pea stone. We will hydro-seed the other half of the area as that grows much faster than traditional seeding. It is really taking shape.

We are nearly finished with all five buildings on our new floor polishing system. We will complete the job at Meyer over the next two days.

If you haven't seen the football stadium recently...it looks strange not to have any bleachers or lights, but that will change over the next 7 days. Light poles are due to arrive today and will be installed by Wednesday. The smaller bleachers for the east side of the stadium will be installed Friday and Saturday this week. The concrete pad that will hold the new "home" bleachers on the west side of the stadium will be complete by mid-week.

We met with our architect last Tuesday and I'm looking forward to sharing the latest drawings with you. It's exciting to see how the new building will match up with what we're doing at the stadium. We will eventually have a beautiful outdoor "plaza" area between the cafeteria/auditorium/gymnasium and the stadium. When you see the drawings you'll see how it all ties together. I'll unveil the latest drawings at our August 25 board meeting.

Congratulations to the Cros-Lex Girls Little League team. One more win and they reach the World Series semifinals in Portland, Oregon. All 10 of these girls attend Cros-Lex Middle School. Not only are they good softball players, but they are also terrific young ladies!

You are always welcome to contact me via email at kmiller@croslex.org
I look forward to hearing from you.

Until next time,

Kevin D. Miller, Ph.D.
Superintendent
