Plumpton School project

Here are some pictures from the school renovation project. In the end we had about $150,000 donated for this project and had 2,300 church people out for the event along with some teachers and students from the school and members of the local police force – not to mention the people and time involved in preparing for the event. One of the students from the school said he realizes now that he needs to work on transforming lives of other students like the school has been transformed and make this a lasting change.


This hallway was a little worse than most hallways in the school but it was still quite typical of what we saw coming in.















Over a hundred people were out on Thursday prepping the school for the rush of people on Saturday. This was typical scene for the afternoon.






I wasn’t quite sure what to think about this one. On Thursday as we were prepping the school, I came across this. Did they think we would actually paint the computer??? Actually I know better (they were making signs for some rooms that they didn’t want painted) but it made for an interesting picture…

A typical hallway as the work was being done
















In addition to the inside of the school, professional landscapers were brought in to oversee some outside work. A bunch of trees were removed and an ugly brush was turned into a nice lawn with new sod, new pathways, and flowers and shrubs. By the end, it looked like a nice park that just needs some time and water to get settled in.




One of the classrooms at the end. I’m not sure why, but the blog is not allowing me to post more picture to this entry so I’ll just leave it. This classroom is now typical of the rest of the school.
