Construction started on the new wing on Monday, June 8. As of 6/25, they have removed most of the sheetrock from the old art and humanities rooms and it is now one big space. They will have the rest of the sheetrock off the outside walls early next week. Outside, the crews have started building the west wall and will get to the south wall next week. Throughout the summer, we will provide updates and photos of the work being done by Morcon Construction. Check out the photos on Flicker for a look inside and out. Check back often for updates. |

Two opportunities for helping at GRS this summer: 1) Students needed on Wednesday, June 24, from 2 to 4 (or 5 pm) to help move furniture and boxes to begin to get A1 settled into new quarters. Come in and help Ms G. get unpacked. 2) Come join the crew on Saturday, July 18 from 9 am to 3 pm. This will be the first of 2 (or perhaps 3) work days this summer. The construction will be underway, so you will be able to see what the new addition looks like. Among the tasks to be completed: - Moving boxes, furniture and materials as each level moves to its new area
- Cleaning different areas to get ready for the move
- Painting and repainting existing hallways and common areas
- Repairing picnic tables and outdoor furniture (mostly tightening screws)
- Other tasks to be determined
Please let us know you are coming so we can plan food and jobs. Contact Lydia at 651-305-2780, ext 103 or
