Working together for Clean My School Day Nov. 11, members of Gardening and Green Earth Club will repaint parts of the school and replant gardens. “I’m so glad that people are partaking in this activity to help build our school to be a better place and environment, because after all this is our home,” said Carven Lau, Gardening Club vice president. Students will be helping to create a cleaner environment for students and faculty.

Repainting bleachers will most likely be done as part of project. “I think it’s really great that so many people are willing to come on a Sunday to help out the environment and improve the overall appearance of our school,” said Jason Hernandez, Green Earth Club vice president. According to Lau, one major project for the Gardening Club this year is to try and restore replacing soil, mulch and compost. There is currently no sprinkler system installed in the senior park, which has caused a delay in this project. However, the club is more suitable for warmer weather conditions and less water.
