"Field of Dreams" Groundbreaking

St. Patrick's Day was last month, but you would never have known it by the profusion of green on campus last Friday, April 3.  On the last school day before a well-deserved Spring Break, the color green symbolized the groundbreaking for the 'Field of Dreams' project.  By the time everyone returns from vacation on April 20, the dirt 'field' will have been transformed into a grass playing field for all to enjoy.  We will all have to exercise restraint for a few weeks and stay off the field, as the sod cannot tolerate foot traffic until the roots are firmly established.

This exciting project comes to fruition as a result of the dreams, hard work, and financial contributions of many people, among them Luci Fowers, May Harris, David McCullough, Friends of AEA, and every parent, student, faculty and staff member who contributed of their time, money, and ideas to meet the demands of this project.  As with most projects, this one has its standard-bearer, one who shepherds the vision and never gives in to the naysayers and the red tape: Stephanie Jennings.  Without her perseverance the groundbreaking and subsequent installation would not have taken place.

Stay tuned for a ribbon-cutting ceremony once the field is ready for use.
