About two dozen from the Class of 1964 and friends recently spent a day planting trees around the school property. Thanks to Ruth Wooden and friends who planted more than 18 trees around the school.
Thank you so much for helping to make the grounds more beautiful for years to come.-SAA


 












Other volunteers are busy planting flowers and shrubs in the interior courtyard. WE ESPECIALLY NEED MORE HELP TO COMPLETE THE PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE/CARE OF THE NEW COURTYARD. We need your "green thumb" to help with this project.
