Polk County Public Schools is celebrating the completion of a major modernization project at Elbert Elementary. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 9 a.m. at Elbert Elementary, 205 15th Street N.E., in Winter Haven. News media are invited to attend. RSVPs are not necessary; however, they’re appreciated for planning purposes. You can RSVP by emailing kyle.kennedy@polk-fl.net. The ceremony will commemorate the complete modernization of the campus, resulting in a brand-new school. The original campus was built in 1962. The school was relocated for approximately two years to another site while the construction took place. Elbert Elementary began using the new campus this school year. The new facilities include fresh classrooms, science labs, a TV studio, media center, an early learning center, two playgrounds, and designated areas for car lines and buses. The modernization project’s total cost more than $48 million. The project was made possible by impact fees and our district’s half-cent sales tax, which voters renewed in 2018.
