Kingsley Campus Work Day Sat. 4/20, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Please join us on a beautiful spring day for some work at the front entrance and general campus cleanup.  In the front we will be weeding, planting, and spreading pine-straw.  We will also be doing general cleanup in the Learning Garden and around campus, particularly the east side.

Materials Needed:  

* pine-straw - please contact us if you can help get 35 bales delivered to school by Sat.

* hand pruners - we've got lots of ivy to clip from trees on east side

* wheel barrows - we've had one donated but can always use more!

* circular saw (to drill 2" hole in picnic table for installation of our first umbrella!)

* pressure washing of picnic tables in Learning Garden (outside media center)

Contact amandahensley01@gmail.com if you can help plan or lead any of our projects (details will be posted to web site when available).
