The Rock Island-Milan School District will unveil its first completed building project in its “Building Excellence” plans next at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday during a ribbon cutting ceremony at Longfellow Elementary School, 4198 7th Ave., Rock Island.
The building will house the district’s new liberal arts-based program beginning this school year. Educators partnered with Augustana College to build a new curriculum for the school.
Improvements to the building included a new cafeteria and library, classroom additions and a new front entrance. The addition allows Longfellow to increase its enrollment to 250 students.
