The new $140,000 Carpenter School, southeast of the Washtenaw Rd.-US-23 intersection in Pittsfield township, will hold open house from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Monday. The cinder block brick-face structure contains five regular classrooms, a self-contained kindergarten (including lavatory) and a multi-purpose room. After a bond issue was approved last April, construction began in June and pupils moved in Oct. 6. Architect Walter Anicka designed it and Minion Construction Co. of Ypsilanti was the builder.

The new Carpenter School kindergarten room incorporates modern window walls, green chalk boards, plenty of bulletin board space and blond birch furnishings. The school now houses about 100 pupils, kindergarten through sixth grade, and has two rooms for expansion in addition to a multi-purpose room. The new building replaces the former one-room building on Carpenter Rd. (US-23), and other rented space, Supt. Merton C. Teare said.
