Viking Family---Jadwin Construction continues to work on preparing the site for the new softball and baseball fields. Over the course of the next several weeks you will see more and more of the shapes of the field come together. Crews will work to install the drainage system, underground infrastructure, and some areas of concrete. The goal is to move this part of the facility project along in a timely manner so that sod is ready to be installed hopefully by mid-September and the grass will be ready to be played on Spring 2024.

Viking Family----NO a new city has not risen out of the ground and NO we are not being visited by anyone from another planet, however if you drive by Mission Valley over the course of the next several days and nights there is a good chance that you will see the new lighting fired up for the football field and track. Torgeson Electric is finalizing the installation and testing of the lighting system. To ensure that everything is working properly the lights may remain on for long periods of time which includes leaving them on overnight. Feel free to drive by and take a look at the new lighting system.....you will be amazed! PS---The future is so bright...you might need shades!
Viking Family----This morning at 7 a.m. the first load of turf rolled into Viking Country and started to be unloaded. This afternoon crews from United Sports started the installation process which will continue for the next couple weeks with the goal to have the Oberhelman Family Field complete on Monday, August 28th. During the turf installation process next week, Bettis Asphalt will begin laying asphalt for the new track which is expected to be fully complete the first part of September.
If you happen to cross paths with any of the workers from the many companies working on any of our projects please give them a big Viking "Thank You".

Viking Family: For the next several days concrete work will be being done at the two main entrances on the East side of the building. To help ensure the safety of the workers/staff/students/visitors, please avoid using the two main entrances while work is in progress. Use caution while at the school as there are many projects going on that involve vehicles and machinery. Visibility is often restricted for workers when they are operating the machines so use extreme caution and stay away from construction machinery.
Please use the entrances located at the North and the South ends of the building or you can use the entrance by the K-6 cafeteria.
We anticipate that concrete work at the (2) main entrances will be completed by the end of the day on Thursday.
