Now You’re in the Know! Frost Avenue Road Construction Update The good news - County Road B is now open between White Bear Avenue and English Street! The Frost Avenue construction is approaching and soon there will be no access to Gladstone via Frost Avenue. Construction is expected to continue into early October. Below is a map showing alternate routes. We will be open during construction. Skillman Ave. ••ƒŽƒ ‘•“—‡ ‘„‹Š‘‘†ƒ” Gladstone 1945 Manton St. Maplewood, 55109 Belmont Lane County Road B Weaver Elementary Cope Ave X XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Frost Ave. Larpenteur Avenue New Lights for the gym, more security Cameras inside and out, and there is plenty of Action at Gladstone daily! The security cameras have already been installed giving us the ability to monitor and in the case of incidents, review footage of the entrances, parking lots and hallways. This summer the lights in the gym will be replaced with new, bright, LED lights AND stage lights will be installed! The view will be crystal clear for the Fall FunFest. Grading of the soil and installation of drainage system in the front of the building is currently underway–goodbye wet carpets and damage to the exterior brick. The roof drainage pipes that run through some of the classrooms will be enclosed to cut down on noise when it rains. With these building projects plus the Frost Avenue construction and all of your laughter and smiles, there really is a whole lot of ACTION going on at Gladstone. The Gift of Life: American Red Cross Blood Drive 2 If you stopped by Gladstone on a spring Wednesday evening, you likely heard the tap of happy feet. A local group has been meeting for laughter, stories and of course clogging. After taking a break from Gladstone for the summer they will reconvene in September. They are looking to add to their group so dig out your “double taps” and join in the fun beginning Wednesday, September 4th from 6:30–8:00 pm. If you are interested in learning to clog, Paul Keeney will be offering a session of beginning lessons starting September 18. This class is open to adults of all ages.
