New school scheduled to open next fall.

It was a signature event in more ways than one.

Students at Sandia Base Elementary recently celebrated the beginnings of a construction project that will change the face of their school, signing their names on the steel columns of a new facility that is scheduled to open next fall.

The project, funded through state money and a U.S. Defense Department grant, will result in a gleaming school that serves children whose parents are stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base in Southeast Albuquerque.

Top base officials and APS Deputy Superintendent Gabe Jacquez attended the event, watching the students place their names on the beams.
