  • Window Replacement: New windows have been installed to enhance energy efficiency and overall comfort.
  • Preschool Classroom Remodel: Preschool classrooms have been remodeled and renovated to create better learning spaces.
  • Plumbing Replacement: A portion of the plumbing system has been replaced for improved reliability.
  • Secure Vestibule Remodel: The entry has been remodeled to include a secure vestibule for enhanced safety and access control.
  • Electrical System Upgrades: Electrical systems have been upgraded to meet modern standards and improve efficiency.

These improvements are critical to creating a safer, more modern, and engaging environment for our students and staff. We are grateful for your continued support in making these essential upgrades possible.

Once again, thank you for your commitment to the future of North Powellhurst Elementary. Together, we are building a brighter, safer, and more enriching environment for our students.
