Ground broken on CLVCS addition

A little news from the Olean Times-Herald to bring you up to speed if you're coming to the alumni dinner from afar and want a social-hour conversation starter:

CATTARAUGUS -- More than 1,200 Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District students, staff, administrators and community members attended groundbreaking ceremonies for Phase 2 of the $59 million addition and renovation project here Wednesday afternoon.

District Superintendent Jon Peterson welcomed students, teachers, staff, school board members and guests gathered behind the school, telling them they were sitting right about where the new 800-seat auditorium will soon be built.

In addition, new and renovated middle and high school classrooms, a new middle school gymnasium and library/media center, as well as expanded cafeterias should be ready when the 2011 school year starts, Mr. Peterson said.
