The left most building is the church. The middle two story building with glass entrance is the middle school. Julie is located on the second floor. She will have signs posted in building. She says that the 2nd floor hall goes around in a circle, so you really can't get lost.

Julie says "The two television montiors are coming in on Monday and will hopefully be mounted on wall this week. Aslo Cox line is being run this week, so maybe I'll have my new toys by the time you all arrive, if not, I'll show you what I've been doing with the material I have. No one on campus uses the computer in class except to type tests. So there will be no guest speaker. I can show you the newsletter the third grade produced and the seventh graders have published the first school newspaper ever as part of their computer class. I can show you Type to Learn Jr. which I use with the young students for keyboarding drills. I'd really like to hear others comments and ideas so I can get a list together for what I want. So far the PTF has had an open ear to me and given what I asked. Also the principal has thanked me for what I am doing and for being there several times so the faculty and staff are happy with what I've done, but I don't think they have a clue how much is missing."
