Every Sunshine Elementary School student watched history in the making on Aug. 29.
Next to the playground, the school hosted a Groundbreaking Ceremony. The 155-year-old school will receive a major renovation, as well as an addition, throughout the 2019-2020 school year.
Sunshine principal Dr. Tracy Daniels shared the school's history with more than 100 groundbreaking attendees. Sunshine was born to the Springfield community in 1864, beginning as a one-room schoolhouse down the street from its current location. Over the decades, the school was annexed into Springfield School district, as well as an expansion in the 1950s, 90s, with air conditioning arriving to the facility in 2012, she said.
"Fast forward to today, the community of Springfield has voted to help bring Sunshine up to speed structurally in the hope that our school can last another 155 years," said Dr. Daniels.
"A project like this can't happen without the cooperation and flexibility of everyone," said Dr. Jungmann. "We thank you in advance for your patience and adaptability as we continue normal school operations while this construction project evolves over the next 12 months."
School board president Tim Rosenbury shared his thanks to the Springfield community for approving Proposition S, which provided funds for the $13.89 million expansion and renovation.
