The Koehler Family

Well lets see, where to start? Last year in May they decided it was time to build a new school. The elementary school was just getting too small to hold all the children, plus it is very old (Eric went there when he was a kid) the older classes had to use relocatable buildings and they had to go to another building for p.e. and there was no a/c in the gym.

Construction!!!

The new school was being built just across the parking lot...

It is two stories, with air conditioning in the gym and no one will have to go outside in the heat or rain to change classes.





Every once in a while we drive by to see how it is growing and take a few pictures.



I love all the beautiful trees!



Finally! Just before Christmas break they had an open house for all the students and their families.

My favorite part was the library. In the other school it was in the center of the building, it was tiny and there were no windows to see out.

Now they have computers, windows on all sides and plenty of room to move around!





The boys like the gym, it is soo huge! Oh, and the elevator was pretty exciting too.

I think the bathrooms are cool too. You see the sinks are on the outside, on the other side of the drinking fountain are the girls sinks and bathroom. Its just so open.

There is a stage in the cafeteria for the classes to put on programs and there are projectors in every classroom.

Britton's class and his new spot.

Isn't it beautiful?

So, after Christmas break the students got to come to the brand new school. Its been a few weeks now and everyone is loving it!

Ethan can't wait to go to Britton's school next year. Almost every day he asks me if he is 5 yet and if he goes to Britton's school yet.

I did cry a little the first few days like it was kindergarten all over again. I just love the new school so much.
