Elementary #21 construction continues to make strides! The fence posts for the athletic field were installed in July and the asphalt treated base for the bus loop will be finished by Aug. 2. Horizontal drilling commenced, which will connect water pipes to the school. This method is being used because of the proximity to the neighboring residential community.
