In our continued effort to share information about the bond program, we'll be at Bremerton High School next Friday for a "Stop, Learn & Share" event. Stop by to learn about the progress on all of our bond projects, including the Armin Jahr Interim campus (recently covered in this Kitsap Sun article). We'll be sharing initial design renderings for both new elementary schools!
This is an open house-style event with no formal presentation - stop by at any time between 5-6 to learn and ask any questions you may have! We hope to see you there!
