It’s easy to take our school grounds for granted - they’re there, right? What’s the big deal?
Take a trip to the school on a beautiful weekend, and chances are you’ll see a team of volunteers spending their time at BVHS, with trucks and equipment, or just an individual working alone on a sprinkler head or mowing a field. If you do, and you have the chance, introduce yourself and say thank you - this is probably someone who could be doing other things, but instead is spending their free time keeping the campus in shape, and making it a little better.
Some remarkable efforts like that are playing out this Spring (2008):
- The Fair Oaks Rotary Club is continuing their long tradition of tending the school emblem on the stadium slope, and devoted over 75 volunteer hours in April to beating back the weeds and planting shrubs to frame the emblem (which they repainted earlier in the year).
- Softball parents, friends, athletes and alumni are amibitiously completing hardscape improvements behind the varsity backstop, to include BV’s own Ball of Fame; and also creating a brand new field to host the JV team.
- Soccer parents, friends and athletes will be spending time later in the Spring to smooth out the bottom of the field, and nurture the turf in that end of the field to a thriving state.

If you’d like to learn more about the fields and where they came from, click the “PLANS” tab under UPDATES and look for the History post, or go to the PHOTO GALLERY to look at some of the recent work efforts. You’ll see an area of your school that doesn’t look the same - because of the efforts of numerous volunteers, people who give of their time and talent to make the school grounds what they are.
