West Valley School District Spokane pulled up a 100-year-old gym floor at West Valley City School and found a century's worth of pencils underneath. 🏀✏️

That floor has been there since roughly 1925. This fall, students come back to a new one, plus safer parking and pick-up at Orchard Center Elementary, upgrades at Centennial Middle School, and a new lot at City School; five projects, all finished before the first bell.
