Summer projects continue around the CRISTA Campus, to include the re-siding and re-roofing of the CRISTA Broadcast Building.   While this work is not especially distruptive, you may hear some hammering of nails as the new siding is installed.  This work continues into mid August.

The Administration Building painting project is progressing.  We are also planning on some paving projects around the campus before students get back to school on September 4th, stay tuned for additional information on that.

CRISTA has always shared a great relationship with the Shoreline Historical Museum, and on Tuesday July 23rd we had the pleasure of welcoming Vicki Stiles of the museum, at our Cristwood Park community to share her deep knowlege of the history of our buildings and grounds.  We surprised Vicki by presenting her with an original Firlands door plate and knob for their collection.

The King’s Schools new STEM Building is in the final stages
of completion before students come back on September 4^th.
The Construction is complete, and now we are cleaning, making last minute
adjustments, and moving in!

Some other work taking place around the campus this summer:
we are performing preventive maintenance to the exterior of the Administration Building, which
includes all new paint.

In addition, the Mike Martin Gym parking lot is getting a
facelift; a complete paving overlay and re-striping.  The Cristwood Park
parking lot will also receive some repairs.

And news on keeping up our beautiful grounds: In our ongoing
effort to improve our campus and our environment, our grounds care team has
converted over to propane fuel instead of gasoline.   Grounds also converted to
full mulching of the grass, which will reduce the amount of debris we remove to
landfill, and reduce surface evaporation from the soil and improve water
penetration and air movement.

Spring sports are coming to a close, but there are still a few events to go…

Tuesday May 28th there is a Junior High Track meet in Woolsey stadium from 3 until 6 pm, and on Thursday more Junior High Track; both in Woolsey and in King’s Garden Gym between 3pm and 6:30 p.m.

On Saturday through Sunday, June 1st and 2nd, we are again pleased to host the Relay for Life, in  Woosley Stadium.

At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Relay teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Relay events are up to 24 hours in length and, because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.

For a COMPLETE schedule of the events taking place on these two days, as well as parking and directional information for the event and to sign up or donate, please follow this link: http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=50789&pg=entry
