Teachers at schools across Bonita Springs are sprucing up their classrooms, preparing lesson plans and getting additional training before students walk onto campuses on Tuesday.
And just as teachers sharpen every last pencil and decorate bulletin boards, maintenance crews are bringing their summer break work to an end — almost.
Spring Creek Elementary principal Karen Leonardi seems to be seeing the most change of any of the schools in Bonita Springs this summer.
Her students will be surprised to see a covered bus ramp, a new playground surface and brand new mulch decorating the front of the school.
“They are gonna love it. I’ll tell you, our boys and girls they keep the campus so nice inside and outside,” Leonardi said. “We are getting new miniblinds for all the classrooms which will make it just so nice.”
But before kids start walking into class the maintenance crews at Spring Creek Elementary will continue to work.
They will also add additional portables, change hurricane damaged windows and repaint older doors.
“The custodial crew and building supervisor are sharpening everything up and doing general cleaning,” Leonardi said. “We are seeing a lot of change and my babies will be very surprised but they deserve it.”
A new nice-looking fence is what kids at Bonita Springs Elementary will see when they step foot onto campus this year.
With help from the community and the school board, the school has installed a six-foot decorative fence to keep kids out of harm’s way and give the school a bit more structure.
“We were first on the list last year (for a fence) but we had a group of parents that requested a fence that wasn’t chain link,” said David Short, the principal at Bonita Springs Elementary. “This fence just looks nicer and connects all the buildings better.”
Students and teachers will also see new mirrors in the drama class, some carpeting changes and the tenting of old portables for termites.
“Our whole staff is very excited to for the kids to come back,” Short said.
