One of the biggest is the addition of a pre-school. The first day for those classes is September 5th, the day after Labor Day.
Lena Dunn is the first school in the state to receive a state grant from the Early Learning Program to fund a preschool program for the first four years.
Mary Padgett is the teacher and she says they will be taking a special approach to educating the youngsters..
