✍️Building for the future, one name at a time!

Students at Samuel Gompers Elementary got to leave a permanent mark on their new school by signing a structural beam that will be built right into the new building. When students move into the new school at the start of next year, they’ll be able to look up and spot their own signatures inside the new halls!

🏫We can't wait to welcome everyone into the new space this coming school year! 🎉
