Our maintenance department, along with their two summer workers, have been busy taking care of lots of projects while school has been out of session! They've knocked holes in two walls and installed new doors, spruced up the music theater sign, replaced some steps on a deck, and completed lots and lots and lots of other projects, and they're not done yet!
