This looks phenomenal. I drove by there the other day, and marveled at all of the upheaval. It's great to see that it's almost all done and that the school finally fits the attendance of today. Back in my kids' day, the largest room could only hold about half of the student body. I'm hoping that the Shoreline Area News offers some coverage of this event, it should be great!
