It's neat to see all the hard work pay off at the end of the summer actually. The hallways are shiny, carpets are clean, there is new paint, clean windows and so much more. New equipment comes in, lots of paperwork is done. The summer crews don't always get the appreciation they deserve. It's not by magic that schools are cleaned, schedules are setup, and paperwork is done when everyone returns in the fall, it's by a lot of hard work. So, here's a big thanks to the crew and all they do!
I snapped this photo in earlier this month when all the floors were finished.
Alas, it is refreshing to see students in the hallways and classrooms again. The building has more life and energy when the students are in school.
As for Matt and myself, the end of the summer was busy and there's always a good list of to-dos when everyone returns with requests. But, there is nothing wrong with that. We're two days into the 2010-2011 school year and I can say that all the work over the summer has paid off. All of our to-dos are relatively minor things, it's not like we've had any servers crash or anything. So, the year is off to a great start. Here's off to a great year of new and exciting technology advances at Louisville Public Schools!
