Volunteers are needed to plant a flower and vegetable garden, organize the library and book rooms, and overall “beautification” of the school in anticipation of the 35th anniversary fund-raising campaign in 2011. Young adults ages 13 and up are welcome. Suggested site donation: $20 for non-students
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided by the school.
