Matthew Martin is the character in the book Earth to Matthew by Paula Danziger.
What community project was Matthew involved in?
Everyone gathers at the playground. There are a lot of people because building the playground was a real community project. One of the parents did the design and the students helped to plan what was going into the playground. Everyone helped to raise money. And then it was spring vacation. And everyone who could worked on the playground. Some built. Some babysat with the kids of the people who had other playground jobs. Some parents made the food. Local restaurants and supermarkets also donated some food. There were lots of jobs to do, and people worked day and night.
Mrs Nichols is going to speak. The people named the playground after her. Mrs Nichols, the seventy-eight-year-old person, is one of the people that Matthew likes best in the world. Because she is a lot of fun and because she has been a part of his family life since he was born, because she makes the best chocolate cookies in the world … and she can really talk to kids and listen to them, not just ask dumb questions like “How old are you?” and “What grade are you in?”.
Mrs Nichols smiles and then speaks.
“I have so much to be thankful for today. It’s such an honor to have this wonderful playground to be named after me, and I can hardly wait until my leg is better and I can use the swings.”
Many people laugh, thinking that she’s joking. Matthew remembers how much she liked sledding with him and his friends and knows that she is serious. She says, “I am thankful that so many people helped me.” Matthew also remembers how, after she broke her leg, she almost had to sell her land. He is thankful, too, that so many people helped her so that she didn’t have to go away.
Mrs Nichols says, “I am so happy to be part of a community that cares. Again, I thank you.” Matthew looks around. Some people are crying, remembering how Mrs Nichols has always helped, always volunteered at the school, always shared food with people who needed it.
