On November 6, we celebrated the completion of one of the first major components of our Capital Project: the connecting access road between the Primary and Middle School.
We commemorated the occasion with a district-wide ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by students, staff/faculty, administrators and board members. Students gathered to watch one of their peers from each grade help cut a ceremonial ribbon stretched across the new road. This was followed by the first official usage of the road by an Ichabod Crane bus and the ICC Marching Band & Color Guard.
This new connecting access road marks the end of Phase I Capital Project construction. With the road in place, our buses now have a more efficient (and quicker) route for dropping off and picking up students.*
* During school hours the road is open for buses only and closed to all other traffic. It will be open for all other vehicles after school hours and on weekends.
PS: Ichabod Crane Board President, Matthew Nelson, even wrote his own version of the song “Old Town Road” for the occasion, which you can see below:
Yeah, I’m gonna take the bus to the new school road I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I’m gonna take the bus to the new school road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I got the students in the back
Stop sign is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the backpack that’s black to match
Ridin’ on a bus, on the new school road!
Yeah, I’m gonna take the bus to the new school road I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I’m gonna take the bus to the new school road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
