Price Gardens & Beautification
Calling all Price students! If you are looking for community service hours and would like to contribute to our goal of making our campus a place we are proud of, join us! We need some help cleaning-up our newly landscaped areas out front, and we are preparing the soil in the round planter boxes in the science wing so that we can plant some flowering succulents! We will be working on when we return to campus! If you are looking to perform a "One Good Deed" challenge for 9/11 or you are looking for community service hours / volunteer hours, here is an opportunity for you to log those hours and help out our school! Please wear tennis shoes and bring a pair of gardening gloves, a hat or visor, sunblock, and extra water. You will be working outdoors, so dress accordingly for being outside in the sun!
