Some spring cleaning and building for the Foothills School Division heading into the Summer.

FSD Director of Planning Monica Kohlhammer says Blackie School is getting a facelift.

"It's updating their facility so it's about the school's environment, in terms of improving that. You might actually make some of the learning spaces look different and feel different."

Kohlhammer says besides updating older facilities, new schools are also being built, such as the Okotoks K-9 School, which has just started work on its gymnasium.

The building is set for completion in September of 2019.
