Fall Campus Clean Up
Let’s work together! Join us for our Fall Campus Clean Up Saturday, September 9th, 2023, 9:00-11:00.
We want to beautify our lovely campus and create a sense of pride in our school. We welcome alumni, parents, students, and volunteers to help.
During the campus clean up, we need volunteers to help with the following tasks:
· Clearing the student garden on the playground
· Picking up litter around the outside campus
· Trimming the bushes at the fence on Park Street
· Cleaning Pine Needles and Debris from the Front Parking Lot
Popsicles will be provided at the end of the clean up. Please RSVP so that we can have an idea of how many popsicles are needed for the event.
