What Is In A Name...?





Plenty, if one traveling I75 has been wondering what the school is that's been so clearly visible on the expressway for the last several months. Of course, there have been signs for those who can read quickly, but the "real thing" is in place now adding a new polish to the theater and the school. The first photo shows a worker drilling holes in the brick using a paper template as a guide. The second, of course, shows the finished sign.

One would have to come onto the campus and drive close to the theater to really appreciate the new feature in the theater yard--a fountain. Life-giving water has become a repeated aspect of the academy expansion, evidenced in the retention pond being developed near the Sisters' cemetery, the rain garden off the parking lot, the soon to be developed larger rain garden in the depression near the theater. Aside from greatly pleasing the Water District, these areas will serve to educate our students in wet-land value, and as a laboratory for the sciences. In addition, they can remind us that just as water provides physical life, learning provides life for the the heart and mind. Nature is ever a master teacher.
