***CONSTRUCTION CORNER***
IMPORTANT...PLEASE READ: The school system is NOT building an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool. I apologize for the misleading comment in last-week's Construction Corner. My goal is to inform; and, while I try to do so in a manner that is interesting, the mixing of fact and humor can sometimes miss the mark. My intent was to reflect the frustration felt by all parties regarding the lack of progress due to rainfall. The building project is moving forward per it's original plan...slow though it may be for those of us who like to see some vertical things happening.
