The event began with a welcome by the new school principal, Nina Dixon-Mauricia, who introduced various speakers at the event. Among those who addressed the audience were SDUSD Board Member Dr. Mike McQuary, Chief Facilities, Planning & Construction Officer, Lee Dulgeroff and former LV principal Michael Beraud. Several upper grade students helped cut the ribbon and then officially inaugurated the field with a lap around the track.
The Linda Vista Elementary joint use field joins a host of parks and open spaces, like the Linda Vista Skate Park, dedicated to the enjoyment of the community and its families.
