Myrtle Grove Middle School's Softball Field
a Semi-Finalist for Kellogg's Makeover

Bailey Williams, 7th grade student at Myrtle Grove Middle School, has nominated the Myrtle Grove softball field for a field makeover, through the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Earn Your Stripes field renovation program.

This initiative is renovating athletic fields across the country as part of Kellogg Company's continued commitment to encouraging healthier lifestyles and building stronger communities.

Overall, thousands of fields were nominated for renovation. Those fields were narrowed down to 100 finalists based on judging criteria such as condition of the field and impact on the community. Myrtle Grove Middle School is one of the finalists, and your vote will help determine the 30 winning fields.

The nomination entries were narrowed from thousands of total nominations to 100 field finalists based on:

• The feasibility of the field.
• The location and age of the field.
• How often the field is used.
• How many events take place on the field each month or year.
• What teams use the field.
• The number of other athletic fields in the community.
• The demand for the field.
• Condition of the field.
• The impact a field renovation would have on the community.

Fans of Myrtle Grove Middle School, and all the schools in New Hanover County, can vote daily until Sunday, May 31, 2009, to help the school be selected as one to be rebuilt. The public voting will count for ½ of the final score, and the sponsor's judging panel results will count for ½ of the final score. The approximate retail value for each field makeover is not to exceed $15,000.
