• Campus Beautification Day — A Powerhouse of Volunteers!

  Many thanks to our powerhouse of volunteers who came to help on Campus Beautification Day! It started with a bang with a dozen members of the Dad’s Club moving bike racks from the mud in the first moments. Two hours later a dad was heard saying, “I thought I was here to move bike racks.” They scurried on to clean the gutters of Tallow trees and the roof line of other imposing trees. Tree Arts volunteered again to mulch the limbs and trim trees throughout the campus. As I saw men completely surround a six foot clump of overgrown grass I could only ask, “How many dads does it take to remove a clump of Eastern Gamma Grass?” Eight dads synchronized the job to remove it for transplant in Brazos Bend State Park by the Native Plant Society. The whole morning appeared to be in fast forward. The front entrance was planted by a half dozen parents and volunteers from JP Morgan Chase Bank. In the third hour volunteers cleared overgrown plants from the bog not by hand but by rolling it like sod. The compost bin is now visible and ready for use. The gardens were beautiful to start and now the shrubbery on Avenue B looks like a Better Homes and Gardens photo opportunity with holiday trimmings.
