Yesterday, the ribbon was cut on Edith I Starke Elementary in Deland, FL. Originally constructed in 1956 the new school will provide space for 650 students in an immersive 21st-century learning environment. This new state-of-the-art campus will replace the current one.
The event drew city leaders, school administrators, students, parents, alumni, and community members, who also toured the new facility. What a beautiful place to learn and work. The new school will open its doors this Tuesday, September 23. Congratulations to the staff, students, community, and everyone who helped make this vision a reality. Thank you Wharton-Smith, Inc. for the opportunity to deliver balloons for the ceremony. 🖤💛
