Dedication Night:

Here is the reveal...

Principle Lee talks to the kids, VIP's, neighbors

and parents at the "Dedication/Back to School Night".

The kids were really excited!!

There was something "OLD"

The sign from the old "Valley Elementary in Huntsville.

[They also brought the old "Bull Dog" from the center of the old gym]

And something "NEW"

[Preschool Playground]

I must say that the Weber School District Administration, Principle Lee, and Wadman Construction were always considerate about our needs. Many thanks to them for being so sensitive to our situation!

And now, these pictures are for Mac:
