BUFFALO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WILL ‘LINE UP’ TO
BREAK GROUND FOR NEW TRACK AND SOCCER FIELD

The entire student population of Buffalo Elementary will provide a human ‘outline’ of the footprint for their school’s new track and soccer field during a groundbreaking celebration for the project on Wednesday, May 31st, at 10 a.m. at the school in Buffalo, IA.

The new track/soccer field is being made possible by the vision and generosity of groups within the Buffalo community, the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, and the hard work of the Buffalo Elementary PTA, students and families. Organizations involved included Buffalo Savings Bank, LaFarge North America, Modern Woodmen of America, the Buffalo Dad’s Club Soccer program, and the Davenport Community Schools.
The track will be asphalt with a 200 meter oval. The soccer field will be the grassy area within the track. The track will be available to the Buffalo community outside of school hours. Total cost of the project is close to $20,000.
