Now it's Martin Middle School Courts - No Rest for Carnevale!

It was 7:00 in the morning when we saw John Carnevale at MMS. There was an early warm sunshine and good weather predicted for the week. John Carnevale could be relaxing on any number of beaches throughout the world or doing something for himself to relax after the renovation he directed at Pierce Field's sports courts. But most mornings this week, Carnevale could be found at Martin Middle School where he was upgrading their outside facilities (he has already lead a movement to renovate MMS' inside gym). The paint was just about drying at Pierce Stadium when John Carnevale decided to upgrade the outdoor athletic courts at his Alma Mater, Martin Middle School. "We need to keep moving to help this great city of East Providence," said Carnevale.

Students, faculty and parents were met by Carnevale before school as he designed, repaired and repainted, etc. the MMS courts. "I think it's great, I got to meet him," said at least one excited MMS student this Thursday morning in the school's waning days of classes.

And so Mr. John Carnevale, EPHS Class of 2000, WPI graduate and engineer and volunteer extraordinaire, continues to help refresh his beloved hometown of East Providence. "Yes, more is planned, stay tuned," he smiled. "I talked with him," added another Martin student. "He is great! I'm going to help him fix Hull street field," the excited middle schooler told his friends.

The Carnevale and friends social express rolls on. The Reporter is glad to chronicle this ride.
