Ribbon Cutting.______________
Students and staff at Central Lutheran School in Newhall, Iowa, marked the first day of the 2008-09 school year with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of a building project that began back in May 2008.Pastor Steven Rempfer (St. John’s Newhall) provided the invocation just minutes before Principal Jan Doellinger, Art Rinderknecht (project manager) and one student from each grade (K-8) cut the ribbon.
Construction on the 6,500 square foot addition began May 5, 2008. The project moved swiftly (five weeks early and under budget) largely because of the volunteer labor provided by congregation members of the supporting churches, parents, grandparents and others in the community.
The addition includes three classrooms, one resource room, a library, computer lab and band/music room. Students will no longer have to leave the building in order to reach the library and band room, which were formerly housed in two double-wide trailers in the back of the school.
Administrators have planned a formal Dedication/Volunteer Recognition Open House for Sunday, November 16, at which time they hope to have the library and computer lab completely furnished and ready for students.
