Sitework continues on the Falcons middle/high school campus. Dirt is moving, roads are emerging, Burrows Trucking is making the grade. Most importantly, SOUTH LEWIS IS STILL STANDING STRONG. #SLStrong
During a time when activity seems to be at a standstill, take comfort in knowing that the SL Capital Improvement Project continues to move forward. The dirtworks crew from Fred Burrows Trucking & Excavating makes daily progress and prepares for the future of our Falcon campus.
The South Lewis Capital Project has begun. Ground has been broke! One District - One Building - One Family!

The South Lewis staff make food delivery look easy. Pictured here: Jodi McConnell and Margaret Krokowski clear the decks on the loading dock; Pam Stewart (Captain of the Cafeteria Crew) and Andy Krokowski (Admiral of the South Lewis Fleet) take pride in their work; and Charity Hoffert and Kevin Burdick signal "thumbs up" to get the show on the road.
The meal delivery convoy lined up to load up yesterday morning. Many thanks to our transportation department for getting these meals on wheels. "Do you copy, good buddy?"
The meal delivery team is bringing more than just food to our South Lewis families:lots of smiles from teachers, cafeteria staff, and bus drivers are also a part of the Falcon fare. We are South Lewis STRONG.
Tonight we had Mrs. Maurer, Ms. Branch, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Arrigo, and Nurse Farr handing out student packets. Thank you Ladies! We hope everyone out there is safe and our thoughts are with everyone.
