In January, students and staff returned from winter vacation to a just-completed 13,000 square foot building addition! After two moves, countless packing, unpacking, and reorganizing, construction finally wrapped up in late December and the Namaste community eagerly welcomed the school's long-term home.
Our sixth grade students are already settling into their new middle school classrooms and everyone is enjoying the new shared spaces! Later this year, the middle school fitness center (including Stairmasters and treadmills!) and the new library will be completed and open to our students. For details on Namaste's building addition and full existing building renovation, please visit the Build Namaste Campaign page.

To reality...!
Stay in the loop! Pictures from Namaste's building project (as well as pictures throughout the school year!) will be posted here.
Thank you!
This project would not be possible without the advice and dedication of our Facility Committee and the tireless efforts of our construction partners, Vistara Construction Services and Berglund Construction.
