Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Held for Thaden Lower School

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Thaden Lower School was held on Wednesday, August 17, in Bentonville. Congratulations to the project leadership team. The team included Senior Project Manager David Groening, Superintendent Aaron Young, Superintendent Caleb Brown, Project Coordinator Preston Vaughan, Assistant Superintendent Javier Gonzalez, and Vice President Tyson Reimer and Director of Operations Bob Archer.

Thaden Lower School expands the institution into a full K-12 setup. The five-acre Lower School campus included the complete renovation of the 13,850-square-foot Olivet office building along with an additional 16,800 square feet of new construction. The facility includes classrooms, a library, a music room, a maker space, offices, a natural playground, and a safe room/cafeteria/multi-purpose room.

A new gymnasium for Thaden School was built by the Kinco team at the same time as the Lower School. It was completed in time for the 2026/2027 school year, as well.
