Overhaul the Land / Garden Work Party!

WORK PARTY

Calling all able bodied parents! There will be a work party Saturday May 1st beginning at 1 pm (3pm for garden work)! We are in the process or getting the NEW field ready for grading and landscape work. But in order to get that going we need to do some clean up and build a retaining wall.

We need to continue this block wall for about 60 feet to bring up the elevation of the property for grading. Here's a list of what we need:

Parents to help with the wall
Parents to supervise the kids (families welcome) on the playground
Dump truck or trailer (if anyone has access to one)
Tractor with tiller or bucket
Gloves, shovels, rakes, picks and rakes
Topsoil (for the garden)
Access to retaining wall blocks?
$$$ donations!

GARDEN WORK PARTY

The first grade is working to improve their garden conditions. The garden work will begin the same day at 3 pm. So if the volunteers can stay longer to help that would be great. Else, if you can't make it by 1 pm come at 3 pm. We will be removing a large amount of the clay dirt in the garden and replacing it with more suitable topsoil.

Please bring the family and join the Channing Hall community for a bit of work and a lot of fun and socializing. Several board members will be present to talk to and have some of your questions answered. Light refreshments will be served.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Let me (Karl- kvizmeg@channinghall.net) know if and how many are coming or if you have any questions.

We hope to see you ALL there!
