The new Orcas School Cafeteria was packed with parents, students and community members as school board members presented the official unveiling of the school’s renovated campus on Aug. 29.
“This is what happens when a community comes together,” said Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas.
The architectural firm Mahlum designed a concept that kept the existing foundation and remodeled the 1980s middle school, library, cafeteria, music room, wood shop and culinary arts room.
Board Chair Janet Brownell talked about the tireless work of the school board, staff and crew. She thanked the community in particular, saying, “You granted us the most valuable commodity in this process: your trust.”
