Dedication ceremonies coming up

Thursday, November 5, 2009 Stanly County Schools has reached a proud moment with the completion of two major renovation and expansion projects. The projects at Aquadale and Locust elementary schools were completed on schedule and within budget in time for this year’s school opening.

To celebrate these milestones, dedication ceremonies will be held at the two schools this Saturday. Aquadale will have its ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. and Locust will follow at 2 p.m. Refreshments and tours of the schools will follow the dedication ceremonies. The public is encouraged to attend.

At Tuesday night’s school board meeting, Superinten-dent Dr. Sam DePaul expressed his appreciation to the board for its vision in opting to fund the $15 million for the projects and to the Facilities Committee and Chairman Mike Barbee in particular for their tireless efforts in seeing the projects to completion.

“Three years ago you approved these projects and I want to personally thank you for commissioning them,” DePaul said to the board.

“We’ve got two fine schools now. Just stand in the new media center at Aquadale or the gym at Locust and you’ll be impressed. The Locust and Aquadale communities can be very proud of their schools.

“For the last two years, Mike Barbee, Chris Whit-ley and Melvin Poole have been meeting monthly in addition to our regular meetings. They’ve always been there and we’ve talked about a lot of issues. I get paid for that, but they don’t. I really appreciate what you’ve done.”

In addition to Locust and Aquadale, DePaul said he was very pleased with the new locker room area at Albemarle High and the new track renovation at West Stanly High.

DePaul also said the gym floors at Endy and Stan-field Elementary Schools are “still in the study stage.” Barbee said that he had been in contact with the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta concerning disposing of the gym flooring in the landfill and was advised of tests that needed to be conducted. One test has been conducted and others will follow.

Two elementary schools — Millingport and Ridgecrest — are involved with smaller projects that will require little to no funding from the school board.

DePaul said Millingport has raised $3,000 for its project to expand the play area for its Pre-K program. Sidewalk repair will cost, but a fencing company has donated fencing for the project.

At Ridgecrest, the athletic facilities — dugouts and concession stands — will be refurbished by youth groups.
