Over the past year we have watched the new Wentworth Intermediate School being built from the ground up! The school was recently completed and will be open to students on Tuesday, which is the first day of school. Students in Scarborough attend Wentworth when they enter the third grade, which will be Grace next year (oh my...how can that be?!). In the spring we were presented with the opportunity to purchase a brick and have something engraved on it to be permanently displayed on the front walkway of the new school. Last evening after dinner I surprised Grace, Jack and Eve by taking them to the school to find the brick with their names on it. We had the best time reading all of the names, messages and sayings on each of the bricks as we were searching for ours.
Here is Grace, Jack and Eve's brick on the front walkway of the new school.
Grace was the first one to locate our brick. Here she is looking at it. Grace loved reading all of the other names and messages on the other bricks too!
We all peeked in the front doors of the new school to get a good first look! We were amazed by the beautiful artwork that was displayed in the front lobby.
Grace, Jack and Eve spent a lot of time standing at this fence watching the workers put the finishing touches on the new playground. They can't wait to play here when it is ready to go!

The Leger Children will visit this place many, many times to come. Love the peeking in the front door shot! Love these three little ones more than all the bricks in Maine!

What a great way to connect with a school and with education! It is a testimonial to and an endorsement for learning. How appropriate that you would do so in a public way, as this is part and parcel of how you live. Grace, Jack, and Eve must be very proud of their names on this brick.
I bet they can't wait to use the new playground.
