To celebrate 60 years of structural design consulting service in the Nashville
community, 30 volunteers from Ross Bryan Associates, Inc., constructed an
outdoor math garden at Mountain View Elementary School on October 16.
Ross Bryan volunteers built flower beds, laid pavers, installed sign posts,
etc., that were specially designed to illustrate math concepts, such as
geometric shapes, fractions, and decimals, while connecting these concepts to
everyday life.
Quote from math
specialist Teresa Dillehay (Mt. View Elementary):
I have been sitting outside in our math
garden thinking about how grateful I am for what you all did for our boys and
girls today. My heart has been deeply touched with your generosity and
kindness. Words cannot express what a wonderful thing you all did
today. You took a dream and made it a reality. You started with
something small and made it so much greater. Each person that touched this plan
made it even better.
My prayer for all of you is that your company
gets a deep sense of pleasure knowing that they helped others. I cannot
think of a better way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Ross
Bryan Associates. Most people get a cake and maybe have a dinner….not you
guys……you served others.
You will be hearing from us for quite some
time. We were very blessed by you all today. Thank you!
Teresa
