As the construction of the new grade school addition starts to finish up, Maroa-Forsyth staff is beginning to transition what they can to new classrooms.

Superintendent Dr. Kris Kahler is very pleased with the progress being made on the addition on the Maroa campus and says the February move-in day is not far. He indicates as of now, they are starting to move what they can to some of those new spaces.

This Saturday will be the final day for the community to come out and see the old middle school building before it is demolished and any art and materials are moved over to the new building.

The new classroom setting will be made for more collaboration among students. Dr. Kahler explains that is an aspect of the 21st-century education environment that has greatly changed.

Dr. Kahler is looking forward to having new science labs for students because they will be finally updated to what today's student needs for hands-on learning. He notes those have been partially updated in the past but this will be what today's student needs.
