The concrete pad extension for the gaga ball pit at Crotty Park is poured! Vocational Math did a great job this morning as they wheel barreled over 3 cubic yards of concrete from Shipyard Rd for about 100 yards to the pads location. The boys will go back out on Friday to remove the frame, move the gaga pit back to its final location, and fill in the edges with the dirt that was removed. All of this in time for their festivities this Sunday! Great job class! #TheSenecaWay ☘️
