Taking Shape

As the temperatures heated up so has work on our expansion and consolidation project. Crews are working nonstop, with rooms and hallways becoming more finished by the day.

Walls are being sheet-rocked and painted, wood flooring laid, lighting and doors installed, cabinets and bookshelves added.  Townhouse renovations are also underway, including the breakdown of walls between Buildings 12, 14, and 16, and Graham House.

Cut through from townhouses to Graham House, Third Floor
Here's a look at some of the spaces. Exciting days for Saint David's!

OLIVER!

This morning our fifth graders continued a great year-end tradition at Saint David's, The Fifth Grade Musical. The boys performed Oliver! and they were fantastic, providing impressive performances and demonstrating great vocal ability. They have been mastering the dialogue and musical numbers for weeks, and clearly gave it their all. Congratulations to the cast on a job well done, and to their Producers/Teachers James Hubbard and Jamie MacNeille, Director Phyllis Clark, Musical Conductor Jeff Moore, and the Parent Committee of Cynthia Chapman, Susan Kissane, Tara Neumann, Joyce Restituto, and Ann Roberts. Musical theater is alive and well at Saint David's!
