Campus Beautification Happening on Campus
Dear families,

The Heart 4 Others (H4O) and Horticulture Culture (formerly Gardening) student groups are hosting a Campus Beautification Project on Friday, April 8 and need your help! In order to “beautify” our campus, supplies are needed for various small projects (i.e. garbage bins, bags, gloves, brooms, soap, buckets, tools and compost for gardening projects). An Amazon Wish List has been created with the supplies needed, and our students are cold calling nurseries to secure tree and shrub donations. Please consider purchasing a much needed item from our Amazon Wish List to help with this project and help our students develop and take care of shared spaces around campus.

Thank you for your support! From H4O and Horticulture Culture.
