| The small but mighty Beautification Crew has been hard at work. We picked up litter, super volunteer Alex Valdez trimmed trees along the walkways on campus, and we cleaned up debris under the field bleachers. We are currently working to repair damaged bleachers and fix a leaking sprinkler under the bulldog. Would you like to volunteer at your own time on the weekends? just an hour of work makes a huge difference. Join our crew! Email beautification@heightspto.org. Join us for a day of service on 16 November, 9:00 - 11:30. Don't forget your water bottles and garden gloves!
This is an easy way to earn service hours, get some time in the sunshine, and help your school. |
