This Thursday was campus cleaning day. Teachers and staff vacuumed, washed windows, emptied trash cans, and weeded the grounds. Our goal was to get the school ready for opening day next Tuesday!
I volunteered for the weeding. It was fun – cleaning up the gravel around the school, gingerly removing stinging nettle, and clearing sections of dirt.
There was a large patch of stinging nettle in front of this fence; it had given me trouble when I mowed the lawn earlier this summer, so I decided it had to go.
That fence used to be covered in itchy, painful stinging nettle
The science teachers decided we needed to beautify the student stadium, so we took a trip to the grocery store and purchased colorful flowers!
Flowers!
On Friday, Jill Young and I had to get the new flags ready for Opening Ceremonies. That involved drilling holes in wooden rods.
