Have you got a green thumb?

A brown thumb?  Or maybe you're all thumbs. . . it doesn't really matter, just bring your thumbs and volunteer today! 

Newly planted, holiday inspired, flowers adorn our main entrance and need to be watered until they are established in the soil. If you have time to do a little watering call Lynn Faulkner, Facility Improvement Chairman, at 281-701-1603, and volunteer.  Students receive service hours for time spent working with this committee. Green thumbs, brown thumbs, all thumbs! It's easy! It's fun! It's therapeutic! So, stop by today and take some time to "smell the roses!"
