Endings and Beginnings |
 |
|
The destruction of this old house has made way for a marvelous change. |
|
|
 |
|
All of our Hutch students watched the demolition and were eager to begin the hard work of transforming what would soon be an empty lot into a park they could be proud of, and all of our community could enjoy. |
|
|
It's hard work. |
 |
|
Each grade level took turns helping clear the weeds and trash to make way for the now plants and playground. |
|
|
Look at all of those helping hands! |
 |
|
Every student and staff member of Hutchinson Elementary put their hands in the new sidewalks of Heritage Park. Now these young children can one day bring their children and grandchildren to show them their part in Hutchinson History. |
|
|
Still under construction! |
|
|
|
There are still a lot of transformations taking place at Heritage Park. It will be a wonderful and inviting park when our Hutchinson students are done with it. |
