School upgrades delay classes
in Clyde
Quluaq school students
received an extra week of summer holidays due to renovation delays at their
school. Seventeen new classrooms, a new gym and new workshop area were added
this summer.
Instead of starting school
on Aug. 23, the communitys 320 students from Kindergarten to Grade 12
started classes on Sept. 3.
Workers are still waiting
for final supplies from the last sealift of the year. Students will be without
a gym until the ship arrives.
Quluaq co-principal Jukeepa
Hainnu said renovations and additions have changed the look of the school and
given staff and students more room to learn.
"We were so short
of space we were holding classes in the hallways. Now, its a very modern
building, very unique," Hainnu said.
Hainnu expected the work
to be finished by the end of September.
