Join us this coming Sunday, April 22nd, from 12-4pm for a Claxton Grounds Workday!
We invite all students, staff, families, and the community to spend a fun afternoon together, maintaining and beautifying our school gardens and grounds, on Sunday, April 22nd from 12pm-4pm. You don't need to have a green thumb or gardening experience to come! We'll be cleaning the grounds; weeding our vegetable, perennial, and pollinator beds; spreading mulch on the playground; and taking care of a few other maintenance tasks on our wonderful campus. If you have garden tools, please bring trowels, hand pruners, shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows. If you don't have any tools, we have a few in the garden shed to share! Snacks and drinks will be provided, and kids are most definitely welcome! Email our Claxton PTO Grounds Chair, Tricia Johnson, at tiller91@bellsouth.net if you have any questions.
