The 2nd story back wall has been completed, including bond beams and placement of the major I-beam over the columns.  The area around the foundation has been back filled and the construction fence has been removed allowing the children more space.  Still pending is the stairwell, that will be located in the right corner of the photo.

The curved wall has nearly been finished.  This wall marks the entrance to the school offices.  Still pending is the bond beam.  Other major work pending on the first floor includes: floors, stucco/painting, electrical, lights, drop ceiling.  The library, located by office area on the left side of the photo, is also unfinished.

Two of the three retaining walls have had sealant applied and have been back filled.  The photo to the right is the side between the new building and the apartment building.  This will eventually have the walkway and stairs that will connect the existing school with the administration and library area.

School Director Ariela is pictured with our daughter, Stephanie McNamar.  Stephanie's school chose the Jireh school for their charity project for 2007, raising funds and collecting more than 200 Spanish and English books for the new library.  Now all we need to do is finish the library!
