The heating system scope is complete and the units are fully functional. Unfortunately, the delivery of the cooling unit was delayed until the end of October due to supply chain issues. The project is anticipated to be completed by mid-November.
Kent Hills Elementary is situated within a beautiful park setting surrounded by mature trees rising above the property in an established neighborhood. The expansive green spaces provide scholars and teachers with opportunities to take their learning outside and expand on academic concepts. The playground equipment has been recently updated with engaging play structures that support active play. Scholars also have dedicated specials rooms that support more comprehensive art, music and physical education programs. There is also an expansive library where scholars access various levels and types of books.
