Beautification – VOLUNTEER POSITIONS OPEN
• Do you enjoy being outside and working in the yard?

PTO is looking for families to 'Adopt an Outdoor Space' on our school grounds. Responsibilities would include tasks such as pulling weeds, removing trash/debris and general maintenance of the area you adopt. No need for special mowers or other equipment! Come once or twice a month, on any day or time that is convenient for your schedule.
If you are interested, please email us at gesparent.teacher.organization@gmail.com. Ideally, we would prefer that families could commit to participating monthly for the full school year, but if you are only able to do a shorter length of time, just let us know! Once we know who would like to be involved, we can provide you with more information and designate zones!
