June 2023 — The Bloomsdale Elementary project is on target, under budget and ahead of schedule. The interior flooring is installed, the logo has been set into the floor, and the concrete has been poured outside of the entrance. The project is still ahead of schedule. If we are able to stick to this timeline, construction should finish in time to allow teachers to return in August and get a jump on the next school year.

May 2023 — Construction at Bloomsdale Elementary is moving along; Ritter Painting Services is working on drywall and painting, and the green metal panels have been installed along the front entrance. The project is still ahead of schedule.

April 2023 — Over the several weeks, the walls of the addition are up, sealed, and ready for stone and brickwork, and crews have begun working on the roof.

The front and back walls of the addition have a brick exterior, with the side wall still to go. The addition is under roof, and crews can now work inside on rainy days. The project has progressed to where work is a few weeks ahead of schedule.

February 2023 — The district held a groundbreaking on Feb. 9 to celebrate the start of construction, the first of several Prop SG groundbreaking events. In attendance were students, families, faculty and staff, facility committee members, Prop SG Campaign Committee members, campaign donors, Board of Education members, community leaders, business owners, elected representatives, Brockmiller Construction, Inc., and KRJ Architects.

Students led the attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance before helping the Board of Education members count down to turn a shovel of dirt! Students then had the opportunity to pick up a shovel and move some dirt themselves.
