and about the $ (1.6 spent)... basically our school is cutting so much stuff off the budget now (vocab books, new books, etc) it's not even funny.. I also don't know how much $ they give us.. but we're listed as "Wissahickon School District and Wissahickon High School" on FIRST's website..
The truth is- I'm actually happy we got the field for a few reasons- lacrosse, gym class now rocks, and we get so much attention  ...

It's sad when the school district gives into whiney (the most appropreate name for these people on these boards) parents who want the best for their precious future Fighting Irish. Give me a break. The chances of getting a scholarship for football is pretty low. And they use that field for, what, 6 games? Mabey it's multipurpose, so you can add soccer.
So now all the long term investments in books, supplies, and such are hurt for a fancy turf field.
Disgusting.
