My dad, “Pops” always planted a garden in our backyard. I would see him turn the dirt in preparation for the seeds. He was laying the foundation so that the garden would grow into its individual beauty. Pops tended to his garden daily, never failing to water as needed. “Mijo”, un jarden, necesita tu attencion para que cresca.” “Son, a garden needs your attention so that it may grow.”
Dad would plant that seed and magically it would resurrect from its tomb in the ground. What a blessing. Dad would nurture his garden and it would always look beautiful. The look and the happy expressions I remember on his face, as he worked in his garden are priceless. Total expressions of his love and caring nature. What a blessing from pops my dad and his garden in his back yard. He planted many seeds and prepared a solid foundation that continues to resurrect a life full of love and hope. This wonderful memory of my dad comes to mind this season, for we are being asked to tend to our garden within our community. The ECISD Bond that represents our students and their future. We are responsible for that solid foundation that our students need to succeed and prosper.
The Bond includes a New Career and Technical Education Center, a New Middle School for far West Odessa, Maintenance and repairs that touch every instructional facility, a New Bus Repair Facility, Agriculture Farm upgrades, New Transitional Learning Center, Safety and Security upgrades, Fine Art department needs, Athletic needs, complete renovations to PHS auditorium and JROTC facility, Indoor Practice Facility for Odessa High, New Turf at Permian High. Led Lighting for PHS and OHS baseball fields. This ECISD Bond will have a positive impact throughout the ECISD DISTRICT.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, from 7 A.M. – 7 P.M.
What a gift and blessing this bond will be for our students, our industry, and our community. Let’s be good stewards of our garden and tend to it by Voting Yes for Proposition A.
