Weston school anticipates being open for school year after July’s flooding [Video]

The Little School in Weston is racing to get everything ready in time for the school year after the building sustained thousands of dollars of damage.School officials say there was over five feet of water in the basement after Julys storm. It flooded the boiler, water heater, electrical panel and alarm system. Unfortunately, it took out our playground as well, said Monica Keith, director of The Little School. And it left damage to our general grounds.Its been a team effort to fix up the preschool that serves 45 students. They held a community workday with more than one hundred people helping to clean up.A lot of people from the town and surrounding areas all came out and helped to get rid of a lot of the debris and teardown things that had been compromised, Keith said. So that was a huge help.Work has been getting done on the inside of the school as well. All the mechanical interworkings of the building have been replaced. And administrators are determined to be reliable for parents and families in the area.I may be biased; I think everything comes down to childcare and early childhood education, Keith said. If families dont have anywhere trusted they can have their kids be, they cant go to work and it just creates this huge chain of events.The school rents the space from the town, which will see some insurance reimbursement. But officials anticipate that not being enough to cover repairs.We have raised about 50% of what were expecting the total cost of repairs to be, Keith said. Were estimating itll be able $50,000. So, were definitely getting there. But were still looking for any donations or grants that we can get.”The school has ordered new playground equipment and theyre hoping it can be installed before school starts on Sept. 5.
