Progress at Apollo Elementary School in Aledo.
Work continues on upgrades to both elementary school buildings in the Mercer County School District.
At Apollo Elementary School in Aledo, the district is adding classrooms on the west side of the building and a new cafeteria, and is remodeling the kitchen.
At New Boston Elementary School, the district is adding classrooms that will replace the third story by adding a new wing.
Unit 404 Superintendent Scott Petrie gave WRMJ an update on the projects Tuesday afternoon.
Petrie says the district hopes to re-open the parent pick-up and drop-off lane on the east side of Apollo this month.
