We Love Volunteers!!

Volunteers hanging new signage

The summer is a very busy time here at FirstLine Schools.  While our teachers are taking a much deserved (and needed) break (though a short one), our operations team is hard at work ensuring all of our buildings are ready for the next school year.  This includes deep cleaning, reorganizing rooms, retasking rooms from one function to another - and in some cases, even building computer labs for our Personalized Learning Project.

We believe that beauty is the art of caring - beautiful buildings really do make a difference.  We couldn't do all of this work over the summer without the help of volunteers.  Over the summer, we have many different volunteers (in groups and individually) help out at our schools.  Last Friday, August 2, we had a group of 37 from Barrasso, Usdin, Kupperman, Freeman and Sarver join us at Clark Prep.  This group split into smaller groups to take on a number of different projects.  They painted rooms, helped reorganize rooms, hung new signage throughout the building, and helped move supplies and books to their new homes.

While we are putting the finishing touches on our buildings, our teachers and administrators have been working hard on professional development - new teachers joined us four weeks prior to the first day of school and returning teachers joined us last week (two weeks prior to the first day of school).

Thank you so much to this group of wonderful volunteers - as well as the myraid others who have joined us this summer to ensure we are well organized and well prepared for our students.  We can't wait to welcome our students this coming Monday, August 12!
