Taylor Elementary School will open its doors to the community tonight.
Taylor’s open house, to be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m., is the public’s first peek at the school in more than a year.
Flood waters closed the school for the 2008-09 school year. Taylor will reopen this year.
“It’s such a beautiful facility,” Principal Brian Christoffersen said. “I can’t wait to show it to the public.”
Christoffersen calls the open house a celebration, closure from the school’s renovations following the flood, but said he’s grounded in the fact that there’s still work to be done.
“We’re very much a work-in-progress,” he said.
Furniture and instructional materials are still arriving, each delivery one more step in Taylor’s journey.
Christoffersen doesn’t know how many people will show up tonight — he’s prepared for crowds of all sizes.
“We’re ready,” he said.
TAYLOR OPEN HOUSE: 5 to 6:30 p.m. at 720 7th Ave. SW. Guided tours will be given every 15 minutes.
