Wolf Point Sees Improvements To Schools
By Bill Vander Weele
Many of Wolf Point’s students will be welcomed with improved building conditions when they arrive for the first day of classes on Aug. 20.
“Northside is the school we probably did the most in,” Shane Reed, Wolf Point’s facilities director, said about work during completed over the course of the summer. “We had both crews, from Southside and Northside, working the projects there.”
Improvements at Northside Elementary School included remodeling both student restrooms as well as the staff restroom. Almost all of the hallways got re-painted. The walls in the gym also got repainted and updated. There is new carpet in the school’s entryway.
“We stripped and waxed all floors in the classrooms and the halls,” Reed said.
The gym floor at Northside also got re-coated. In addition, the school’s HVAC system also got updated.
Improvements done at Southside Elementary School included putting in new carpets for some of the classrooms along with stripping and waxing the floors.
Reed said the junior/senior high school’s agriculture education department was renovated quite a bit, including painting the walls. The art room, science rooms and the ag education classroom all received new flooring.
Another project at the junior/ senior high school was fixing up the restrooms for referees in the school’s bottom floor.
Larger projects in the school district have included putting up new bleachers and announcer’s booth at the high school football/track facility and an addition to the bus barn. The weight/wrestling room projects at the high school will have a later start than anticipated.
