This is the school I went to when I was growing up...kindergarten through sixth grade and now my boys go there. A few months ago, we found out how that it wasn't up to earthquake code, except for the new gymnasium. The public voted for a bond that made it possible to tear down Westmore and rebuild it so that it will be a safe place for our kids to be. So we just have to live in the construction mess for awhile while they build it. The gym will stay and the school will be built in phases so that the kids can still go there while it is being worked on. So if you drive past, you will see the entire south field dug up in preparation for the construction. Pretty exciting. But I just found out that the playground is not included in the building costs so the PTA has a big job ahead of them raising money for a playground in the next two years. Knowing the wonderful patrons of Westmore, I am not worried. Anyway, it is quite the project and since Aaron started preschool last week, it has brought me to the school more often and so I have paid more attention to what is going on. Next year, Ammon will be going there too (hopefully) and so I will have a little more time that I can help more at the school and I am excited about that. it will be strange to not have little ones at home and nice to not have to arrange babysitting when I'm at the school!
Thanks, I haven't seen the picture of the new one, and I wanted to. I think it's exciting that we're getting a new school, especially one that won't crumble on top of our kids in an earthquake.
