Another Day Down...

We started our day unloading the shed. This is one of 2 sheds we have. We unloaded all the art stuff today and moved it over to the new church. This shed is full! You never know what you might find in the shed. Several of our staff and teachers have found various critters.There might be a nice big giant spider to welcome you or tons of mosquitoes. Besides the creatures and critters, this shed houses everything such as yarn, glue, paint, educational games, etc,etc. The list could go on.
We were going to try and haul off the shed to our new location. Problem is we are locked in. The church we are moving from has decided to keep the 2 portables (even after their new building is finished) in front of the shed so now we can't get it out. However, they have offered to buy this shed from us and then we can go buy a new shed. Yeah! Solves that problem.
So the director, another teacher and I packed up our cars with all the art supplies and headed to the new church to unload.
After an afternoon of unloading we decided to walk around and see what progress had been made. Pictured above is one of the classrooms. We actually have walls now!! Yeah!
Here is a better view of a classroom. There are 6 classrooms in this building, a couple of bathrooms and a nice long hallway.
Here is one of the bathrooms above. There will be a girls and boys.
Here's another exciting thing we are going to have....SPACE on the playground. This is where our playground is going to go. Behind this area, there is a huge soccer field. The church lets organizations such as Upwards and Odyssey use it. They see it as another bridge to reach the community.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed seeing what's happened so far. We found someone to work on the walls that had the 2 lovely layers of wallpaper. A lady has been working on that room. She has textured it and will paint it eventually. Cindy, another fellow board member has been picking out paint colors for the portable . They are going to be so bright and beautiful. Can't wait to share more updates.
