Forest Ridge Elementary is Getting Ready for the First Day of School

OAK CREEK -- Are you excited?

Thanks in part to a $59 million referendum passed in 2014, students will march into brand-new Forest Ridge Elementary School, 2200 W. Drexel Ave. on Sep. 6 for the first day of school.

The Oak Creek-Franklin School District, where enrollment went up almost 1,200 students from 2005 to 2015.

Here are photos from the Aug. 29 ribbon-cutting ceremony:

It took several months to build, but you can see it take shape in less than two minutes, thanks to an awesome time-lapse video:
