<div style="font-family: ArialMT;">Please share this announcement with your colleagues, appropriate administrative, facilities, and coaching staff members that will find this field day to be a valuable and meaningful learning experience. So many schools have
converted to synthetic turf from natural grass or more may be considering installation of synthetic turf athletic fields. The field day will provide an opportunity to learn about product choices and the maintenance that is required for safe and long-term
use.</div>
