Zemmer teachers visit Rolland-Warner, custodians work together to clean new school
Although there is a lot of work yet to be done, much of the interior and exterior construction work at Rolland-Warner Middle School is complete.
A small group of teachers stopped over Wednesday morning, July 29th, to organize their classrooms and prepare for fall classes.
Posing in their hardhats they are (left to right) Christine Newton, Lisa Bjork, Michelle Milk-Mlecsko, and Linda Shamaly. To see larger photos click on the pictures.
A team of custodians is working hard to clean up after 14 months of construction work at the new facility. They stopped briefly for a photo. They are (left to right) Alex Ancona, John Wilson, Dennis King, Tim Tovar, Janeen Hornung, Pete Haggadone, Greg Koski, Dave Peasley, Gary Tripp, and Ernie Saltzman. Camera shy, or missing from the team photo were: Willie Behm, Joe Palazzolo and Pat Hutton.
While at the campus we shot a photo of the new gymnasium that is shined to a high gloss and just waiting for those first students to arrive.
