Being "neighborly" recently resulted in getting to know a new friend and a grassed-in playing area for the Kern County Superintendent of Schools' Lamont Child Development Center. The creative thinking of Teacher Linda Mickle and the generosity of Toy's Turf made it all possible. "We have been slowly trying to improve the outdoor playing environment for our 150 children," Mickle said. "As I was brainstorming the other day, I wondered how we could transform a large, mostly dirt, area under a huge shade tree into an enjoyable, cool place where we could read stories to them. At the same time, we were looking to dress up the grounds for our 10th annual carnival on April 29. Finally, it hit me. Why don't I call some turf companies and see if they would be willing to donate grass." More
