12.16.11: Eblen Intermediate

We went to the open house on Friday night to tour the new Joseph P. Eblen Intermediate School!!  Schools fulfill such a huge role in our communities and it's a special thing to be the first kids in a brand new building.

The classrooms are spacious and energy efficient with an emphasis on diffused natural lighting, the band room is generous with a big closet for all the instruments, the library, they call it the treeehouse, is so inviting and the gymnatorium looks like something out of a sci-fi novel.  They also do rain water reclamation and there's a huge sundial on one of the outside walls.

 Big thanks to all of the teachers and staff who have been teaching on the fringes at the elementary and middle schools since September, waiting for this space to become a reality.  It may have been a little late on delivery, and put everyone through their paces getting it set up to be ready for Friday night, but it was certainly worth the wait.  Classes begin bright and early Monday morning and everyone is excited to get settled in and bring this beautiful new place to life.

    I am a children's graphic artist turned horrid United Stated Postal Worker! That's another story...
    Anyway, I applied for a position at Eblen Intermediate. I wanted to get a feel for what the school was like...and....YOU DID IT! You saved me thousands of descriptive words! It is an amazing place...and you made it shine through your photography!

    By the way, my husband is dancing around the house with his new 5D Mark 2!
