While sad to see the dated building go, a sense of excitement began to grow around the new elementary building that would better fit the needs of all students and support a variety of teaching methods. The new learning environment is home to students K-5th grade, designed to represent and celebrate the heritages of the diverse student population. The media center at the heart of the building emphasizes the focus on literacy while serving as a gathering hub. Operable walls securely connect the district’s board room to the media center. An amenity not typically found in a primary school, the flexible board room can be used for a variety of functions and spill over into the media center when needed. An outdoor classroom on the second level gives students a birds-eye view, and an outdoor garden with multiple beds is accessible to all, leading to natural learning opportunities everywhere.
