While almost 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, only .003% is fresh and unpolluted. With our rapid population increase, along with the current effects of an extreme drought, it is important to identify and implement new strategies that will help ensure our water supply is clean and plentiful for generations to come.

Families are invited to come and help plant flowers, pick up trash, and clean up flower beds to help beautify our school.  Families are encouraged to bring their own gardening tools, gardening gloves, trash bags, and flowers to plant. Pictures of the Hughston event will be included in the yearbook.
