A Tornado — Emerald City Rebuilds Like the fury of a tornado, construction workers left a path of destruction gnarled steel, broken concrete, shattered glass. Memories of what “City” had been were all that remained. However, destruction leads to progress. When we returned to school in September our spirits were lifted. In the midst of rubble appeared a design for the future; our Emerald “City”. Shades of blue, beige and ru t wallpaper and carpeting brightened our eyes. Clocks were ticking. Construction of the Performing Arts Complex was well underway. Classrooms were almost back to normal. Credit is given to everyone who endured the “storm”. To those who believed the community, the school board, the administration Thank You for making us part of your “Yellow Brick Road”.
