It’s a great day in the Fields & Futures camp when bulldozers are moving, dirt is turning and new fieldwork begins! It means another OKCPS high school campus will soon be transformed, creating new opportunities for OKCPS students to play on beautiful new fields and enjoy the sports they love.
On Wednesday, May 6, 2020, Fields & Futures was joined by a small group of supporters to celebrate the next chapter of U.S. Grant High School softball. Weather permitting, in just a matter of months, the existing grass field will be replaced with a beautiful synthetic turf field!
Upon completion of the softball field, we’ll move to the baseball field and do it all again!
You can follow our progress on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @FieldsFutures.
Special thanks to OKCPS district leadership and U.S. Grant principal Greg Frederick for all they do to give OKCPS students every opportunity possible to learn big, play big, and go big!
So many people and organizations make these field projects possible.
