Gorgeous Prince George's Day
For the second
year in a row, Capitol College "dug in" to make the campus a greener place
by participating in the 7th annual Gorgeous Prince George's Day, a county-wide
initiative from County Executive Jack Johnson on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 on
the Capitol College campus. The focus of this
countywide event is to plant trees, shrubs and flowers in an effort to create
clean, healthy livable environments for county citizens. Through this
partnership, Capitol planted 20 crape myrtle trees and 100 spring flower bulbs.
Last year, through efforts from faculty, staff, and students, Capitol College
was awarded the Bronze Maryland PLANT award as a first year participant and has since been accepted as a member to the Maryland Green Registry. Thanks
to all students, faculty, staff and friends of the college who came out to make
this a successful event.
