Wood Acres ES addition complete in Bethesda

The addition at Wood Acres Elementary School at 5800 Cromwell Road in Bethesda is now complete. Construction workers have a few loose ends to tie up, including troubleshooting the fire alarm system. Fencing around the construction site is expected to be removed before the end of the Montgomery County Public Schools school year in June.

Eight new classrooms are the major benefit of the new rear wing, as well as the restoration of a dedicated music room. There are also new administrative offices, and an interior courtyard. Students will return here from the nearby interim campus for the fall semester.

There will temporarily be more room than expected, as a number of parents chose to pull their kids out of the school altogether, rather than have them bused over to the Radnor Center at 7000 Radnor Road. Before the addition, Wood Acres had 7 portable classrooms outside.

    Robert - the addition of the dedicated music room must have you thrilled. Do you think they will approach you to be a guest lecturer? It would make sense given your international recording artist background!

    One less thing for Janis Sartucci ("Parent Coalition") to kvetch about. Oh, wait, she'll find something else, soon enough.
