Classes Resume at Pebble Creek Elementary After Flooding Delay

Classes Ready to Resume at Pebble Creek Elementary!

College Station, Texas – Great news for Pebble Creek Elementary families! Classes are set to resume on Monday, December 9th, after a brief delay due to cleanup efforts following a broken water line in the school’s fire prevention system. Recently, the school faced a bit of a hiccup when a water pipe broke, causing extensive flooding throughout the building. This unfortunate incident led to the closure of the school on Thursday and Friday of last week.

According to a post on the College Station Independent School District’s (CSISD) Facebook page, crews have been working around the clock to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the facility. They reported that thorough cleaning of floors and surfaces took place, air quality testing was completed, and all remaining issues were addressed. In other words, the school is rolling out the welcome mat for students next week!

What Happened?

Let’s dive a little deeper into what led to this unexpected closure. The troubles began on Wednesday, December 4th, when a broken pipe caused that notorious flooding. It truly was an emergency situation, and the school administrators swiftly decided to close the school to tackle the issue. They kept Pebble Creek’s families updated through social media, providing regular updates along the way.

Starting next week, Pebble Creek students can pack their backpacks again and head to class without any worries. The staff has been eager to get back to a regular schedule, so the return to class couldn’t have come at a better time!

City Council to Terminate Indoor Tennis Center Project

Why the change? The decision is due to increasing construction costs and shifts in project plans that made it unfeasible. A combined total of $851,943 has already been spent, and both the city and the university have agreed to drop the center project entirely.

The tennis center was intended to include six tennis courts as well as facilities for other sports like pickleball and volleyball, catering to a community eager for more recreational opportunities. It’s a bit of a disappointment, though; the project had great potential to boost local economy with projections estimating $3 million in impact during its first year!

Crime Updates

Additionally, a 17-year-old from Bryan, previously in trouble for striking someone, was arrested again for violating a protection order. Reports state he threatened a College Station woman while armed. Yikes! Nothing like a heavy dose of drama to start the month.

Vigilance Needed

It’s crucial for College Station residents to stay vigilant. Reports of vehicle burglaries outside a Bryan ISD school have emerged, leading to the arrests of three young men who entered a student’s pickup truck and grabbed a wallet containing a whopping $41,000. It’s a reminder to keep your cars locked and valuables out of sight!

So, as we head into the upcoming week, let’s stay positive and keep an eye on our belongings! And for those Pebble Creek students, get ready to hit the books again next Monday!
