condit | Construction Letter Update


 


condit | PAT Meeting Update
A PAT meeting was held on Friday, August 21 and we'd like to share with you a brief status update on the project. 

As you can see, summer rains didn't stop our hard-working construction company from continuing to make progress. We currently have our complete foundation laid including the piers and beams in place. In fact, all of the required underground work for the new school is in. Now for the fun stuff!!There's a giant crane ready to lift steel beams--be sure to point it out to your kiddos. You'll see large steel beams sprouting up forming the structure of our new 21st century school building. What a great learning opportunity for our students to see the formation of such a large building!

And you can be a part of the progress, so be on the lookout for a special opportunity to make your mark on the building. Get your sharpies ready, because soon, you and your children will have the chance to sign your name on a steel beam that will be used in the structure of the school---yes, that's right. You can sign right on the beam itself during a special "BEAM SIGNING" event. More details will be provided soon and an example of a beam signing: http://blogs.houstonisd.org/news/2015/05/04/grady-ms-holds-beam-signing-event-as-new-addition-goes-vertical 

 The new school project is on time, on schedule and will be ready to open in the Fall of 2016!Our next PAT meeting will be held on Sept. 17, 2015 at 11:50 am in the Condit Library. As always, everyone is welcome to attend.

condit | Boosterthon- Condit's Student Fundraiser

This year's Student Fundraiser is the Condit Boosterthon Fun
 Run! Hosting a Fun Run means there is no selling or delivering products. Family and friends anywhere in the world can support our school by giving pledges toward the number of laps your student will run on the day of the Fun Run/Walk on Thursday 9/24.

Our Boosterthon Fun Run program will last about 2 weeks; from Tuesday 9/15- Thursday 9/24. Students will experience an exciting Boosterthon Pep Rally, families will have time to get pledges, and on the last day, students will run in the Fun Run! Every student, no matter financial participation, is invited to run in the Fun Run.  Stay tuned for more information! 

Boosterthon co-chairs are: Ali Septimus, Diane Negro & Ann Goldfarb; contact ali.septimus@gmail.com for questions.  See www.boosterthon.com for more information about Boosterthon.
