The Reynolds School District hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday at its new Troutdale Elementary School in Troutdale to celebrate completion of the $24 million project. Designed by BLRB Architects and built by general contractor Bremik Construction, the project is one of three new elementary school replacements carried out by the Reynolds district in recent years as part of a $125 million bond measure passed by voters in 2015.

Standing behind their commitment to socially and environmentally responsible policies, Reynolds School District has partnered with The IRN Reuse Network to donate surplus furniture from the elementary school replacement projects to communities in need in both Africa and Latin America.

The furniture comes from the old Wilkes, Troutdale, and Fairview Elementary schools which are being replaced. The district kept all furniture that could be reused in schools and elsewhere around the district and donated about 2,500 pieces that were deemed surplus. To give this furniture a new life for students in need, the District worked with nonprofit organizations through IRN to send the furniture to schools in Burundi, Chad, Haiti and El Salvador. Students in these communities will be able to benefit from this furniture for years to come.

Troutdale, Fairview and Wilkes elementary schools are being demolished this week to make way for the school's new playgrounds, ball fields and parking lots where the buildings once stood.
