Spring Work Day
The Spring clean-up day was held Saturday, May 4, 1996. Many students, parents, and neighbors helped move gravel to the berm, lay down fresh wood chips on the trails, trim brush growing too close to the trails, and clean up the area. Thanks to all who helped! And thanks to Dyers for the picnic afterwards.
