Each week, we share photo and video updates from the Elementary Building Project on our website. Follow the progress at https://www.crlions.org/apps/pages/project or on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/

This week marked a major milestone as the final base layers of asphalt were installed, opening the new roads and access points, meaning the middle school is fully accessible for the 2026-2027 school year.

In just a few short months, tremendous progress has been made at Chestnut Ridge Elementary School. We are excited to share a look back at our first drone footage alongside the latest aerial views from August 22, 2026.

One especially meaningful surprise this week was seeing three CR Lions back on campus and contributing to the project with New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc.: Jeb Emerick, Class of 2023; Zach Pfaunmiller, Class of 2021; and Ethan Parks, Class of 2020.

Go Lions!
