Weekly Update for November 4, 2022

   

God's Richest Blessings on your week!

Steve Fabry was able to get the new drinking fountain/bottle filler installed on the first floor. We give thanks to God for members like him who are willing to give their time and talents to our school.

The playground move is almost complete. The weather today has caused a delay in their ability to finish it. A temporary fence should be in place by the end of the day on Tuesday. all of that being said, it will not be ready for use on Monday. I will be in contact with the construction crew again on Monday, but would anticipate that we will not be able to use this space until Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. I will be discussing some GaGa Ball Pit ideas with the Board of Christian Education and PTO over the next few weeks. I would like to see us get a plan for this in place by the end of November. There are options to be reviewed, including a prefabricated or DIY approach. Your feedback is always appreciated.

Here are a couple of other miscellaneous updates related to Built on the Rock:

• Gauthier is planning on finish the grade on the driveway this week but we do not think the concrete is going to get poured this year.  The concrete sub is extremely backed up and I was told that the city has an ordinance that does not allow concrete to be poured in the right a way after November 1st. 
• The fence by the old playground will probably not get removed until next spring, but can if there is a major concern, this can be reviewed.
• They are not going to do any more work with the area around the parsonage until after the new gas line is complete which should be by 11/15. 

We are getting closer on a decision around Paper Towel and Toilet Tissue Dispensers. Here is the latest information. I received new information form San A Care which has me leaning in that direction at this time.

 

The network cabling contractor that reviewed our building needs over the last few weeks has backed out of our project. We are now working with a contractor who gave a bid back in May of 2021. He will be in the building from 11:45 - 1:45 on Friday, November 11 to reevaluate and rebid the project.
