"As soon as we finished presenting at the school board meeting
they adjourned and went directly to the playground. They spent
about twenty minutes there surveying the problems that we had
pointed out to them at the meeting. Two weeks after school
was out, they had trimmed up the trees and there were two county
bulldozers on the playground bringing in dirt to cover up the
roots that had been giving the students problems by tripping
them. I expect that the holes in the asphalt will be fixed
by August 16th when school resumes. My fourth graders are
absolutely on fire! They think that they can 'save the world'
and they just might be the ones to do it"
