Dear Bullpup Families,
Happy Mid-Summer! We hope you’re enjoying this stretch of beautiful weather in all the best ways!
The remodel of our building is in full swing. Mr. Tajan and I walked through the construction zone recently and wow! The progress they’ve already made is amazing! See below for a few pics of the scene.
As we walked through the open space that used to be the Cold Hall and Wrestling Room, the magnitude of this remodel really started to sink in. We then immediately recommitted ourselves to fostering and modeling the flexibility and positivity that will be required of us all as we teach and learn in a construction zone next year. The students and staff of SMS 26/27 have the unique honor of navigating this process to benefit our community for generations to come – we encourage you all to embrace this responsibility and opportunity to serve.
I will be back on the job full-time in early August, but if you have any questions before then, please feel free to email me at my usual address. I check my emails at least a couple times a week.
Now, go out and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Sincerely,
Mr. Penrose
About to pour the foundation for the expanded cafeteria!
The old Art Room showing the window replacement underway and the ductwork for the new heating/cooling(!) system installed!
The Music Room is going to feel HUGE with those risers gone (and who's going to miss that yucky old carpet?).

A long way to go, but an impressive start!
