Leary School Job Site
Page 3
The
eighth home construction project from the Leary School JobSite is now complete and
the new owners have moved in!
This two-story, four bedroom home with two and a half baths is the largest undertaking
of the JobSite program in the 17 years the program has been in existence.
This home has a formal dining room, a large family room with a gas fireplace, a kitchen,
a laundry room, and a half bath on the first floor. A large utility room next to
the laundry room provides the owners with additional storage space. Hardwood floors
in the entry way give that area a dramatic look. A side door provides access from
the driveway to the kitchen area, allowing for easy entrance for groceries or muddy
shoes.
The second floor has, in addition to the four bedrooms, two full baths, a large walk
in closet in the master bedroom and access to a full second floor porch from one
of the front bedrooms. The large area in the upstairs hall gives the upstairs an
open feeling as you can see from these pictures.
On June 8, the staff and students of the JobSite hosted an open house and dedication
to show off the completed house to neighbors, parents, and friends of Leary School.
Following introductions and brief remarks from both Dr. Schultze, the President and
Executive Director of Lincolnia Educational Foundation and staff of the Leary School
JobSite, students led visitors through the home. Among the guests at the Open House
were Penny Gross, Fairfax County Supervisor for Mason District and Lynda Smith, Fairfax
County Supervisor for the Providence District.
Congratulations to all the students who worked on this project over the past two
years! We wish everyone a good summer and we look forward to starting a new project
this fall. Please watch the Leary School website (www.learyschool.org) for information
and pictures when work begins in the fall.
