Earthlab Help NEEDED!!!
THANK YOU to Alma Rodriguez and family, Brenda Watson, and Marta Vasquez and family for volunteering in September and so far in October to help beautify the Earth Lab. We have weeded, pruned, watered, and painted most of the elementary planters, but there's still a lot of work to do! If your family can volunteer on either Saturday, October 24 or Saturday, November 7 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am, please email Mrs. Andrade at tandrade@orangeusd.org to sign up. Please wear a mask and bring gloves (if you have them otherwise we will provide) and enjoy a little time outdoors in the garden. No experience necessary!
