Let it be said, that all good things are worth waiting for! And, oh how this community has waited for the grand opening of the new playing field. Perhaps you remember a couple of older posts last year, in the May timeframe, when we were all covered in mud, racing against the clock to get the last piece of sod in before the rains came! The playing field had been closed off since then to let the new sod take root and boy did we celebrate two weeks ago as the yellow tape came down and the frisbees and soccer balls came out.
The day was perfect, hot and sunny and the words by one MFS parent, very poignant, as he thanked everyone for making this dream a reality. It was a lovely way to remember his late wife and the entire community rallied around him to give support and a hefty round of applause as we listened to his words as he tried desperately to keep his emotions in check.
I was so grateful that this particular project was completed and a success at that. Everyone had a great time and the die-hard ultimate frisbee players commented on what a difference a level field made as they no longer had to keep one eye on the field, in hopes of avoiding pot holes and un-even terrain. Ah, relief!
We enjoyed the celebration with Ken and Liz, friends visiting from our church in Chicago. They had a chance to meet some folks and I even gave them them the 2 cent tour of the school!
So, Monteverde, you can look back at this one and say - YEP, change wasn't so bad after all! Lets hope we can carry this enthusiasm and thinking into the future as the school continues to tackle other changes and projects. KUDOS!
