UPDATE on visit to Bright Star School, April 1 2008:

The visit to the Bright Star School went well. We apologize that an e-mail did not go out regarding the details of the visit prior to the 1st but as it turns out that was a good thing. Getting to the school is quite trickey and there is not too much parking.

As for the visit it was great! We were able to see the current school as well as see the new plot of land and the foundation/1st floor of the new school. The building will be 5 stories high and they are building as funds become available.

I took photo's of the current building and of the new building under construction and will bring these photo's to the tea.
