Campbellsville Elementary breaks ground for renovation project By Calen McKinney CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY (12 Mar 2016) As he shoveled the dirt, his miniature hard hat fell to the ground. But the kindergarten student just picked it back up, put it on his head, and then kept digging. Campbellsville Elementary School broke ground for its upcoming renovation project on Thursday, March 10, in a special ceremony. Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce and other community members were on hand to mark the event. CES Principal Ricky Hunt welcome the crowd to his campus for the historic event. He thanked Campbellsville Independent Schools Superintendent Mike Deaton and Campbellsville Board of Education members for making the renovation possible. The renovation will make CES a more conducive place for learning, Hunt said. Construction has already begun in small areas, Hunt said, and will begin on a much larger scale on Monday, March 14. "We are very excited for that to happen," he said. The CES building was constructed in 1954, Hunt said, and there have been five or six additions since, with work at the library being the latest. On Friday, March 11, CES students had their last assembly on their stage, which is in the gymnasium. The stage area will be renovated into a preschool classroom. During the groundbreaking ceremony, the CES third-grade choir sang "The Future Begins with Us." Scott Noel of N3D, the architect firm for the renovation project, said he has worked with Campbellsville Independents Schools on several projects, for more than 10 years. "And we are extremely excited about what's going on at the District," he said. "Especially here at this school." The elementary school campus was once Durham School, Noel said, and the history of the building will be featured in the new foyer at CES. Noel said the renovations are going to help provide a safer environment for CES students and teachers. The groundbreaking was almost a year to the day when N3D was hired for the project, Noel said, so it has been a long time coming. "We are excited," he said. Campbellsville Independent Schools Superintendent Mike Deaton said he thanks those who live in the city school taxing district for allowing the levy of a nickel tax, which allows the District to increase its bonding capacity. Seeing CES students at the ceremony, Deaton said, he and other administrators know what's happening at the elementary school is being done for the right reasons. "These guys are the future of this community," he said. Deaton said he knows administrators will keep working to get financial help from legislators in Frankfort to fund the Campbellsville Middle School renovation to make sure that building also meets students' educational needs. " ... This a monumental step for Campbellsville Independent Schools," he said. CES kindergarten students in Lisa Wiseman's class broke ground for the project, with miniature shovels to mark the occasion. They will get to keep the shovels, which are marked with the date and the Class of 2028, the year they will graduate from Campbellsville High School. Renovations planned at CES include four new classrooms, a new HVAC unit, a fire suppression system, new interior finishes, a new kitchen and cafeteria, new restrooms, renovation of existing classrooms, a new playground for preschool students, work to administrative suites, new parking areas and a new look for the front facade. Once renovations are complete at CES, and then later at Campbellsville Middle School, all fourth- and fifth-grade students will be housed at CES, making it a more traditional elementary school, and the CMS building will better suit the needs of a middle school.
