Hello walkers and runners! You might have noticed the action this summer at the Blue Heron Middle School track. We are removing the old, crumbling surface of the track and replacing it with a new base mat and a more durable top coat. This new track surface will be much better and safer for our student athletes. And our broader community!

We appologize for the temporary inconvenience of the closure. We are excited to get everyone back on the new track as soon as it is complete at the end of summer!

This project is funded with Capital Levy dollars.

Heavy machinery removes surface of track
Things are movin' and shakin' around here at Blue Heron Middle School as furniture is moved, floors are cleared and carpets are ripped out in preparation for the new carpet that will be installed during the summer break. We look forward to sharing "after" photos of our building once the project is complete! Shona Grimm
