Most of us dream but little comes of it.
Tori Gelbert dreamt of something andâwith lots of help from the Culpeper communityâis making it come to life.
Seizing on her inspiration, more than two dozen students and adults are creating outdoor classrooms in what was a schoolâs largely unused central courtyard.
The idea came to Gelbert in her sleep one night, though the principal of Emerald Hill Elementary School said she was embarrassed to admit it.
The principal, a runner who used to coach track, had dreamt of holding the grand opening of a track built inside the wings of Emerald Hill, which are grouped around a central courtyard where a few teachers used to take warm-weather lunch breaks on four picnic tables.
