Gathering in the Meadow

The Frederic Burk School children and teachers spread across the wide meadow, some crouching in the tall grasses while others gather near the hay wagon. Oaks dot the horizon, their branches reaching skyward as the group clusters in smaller circles of activity. The wagon stands ready in the field, a central point for the children returning with their finds. The photograph captures a pause of busy exploration — the children scattered yet connected in the shared experience of discovery.
