The Berkeley Project

October 28, 2017

For the fall 2017 Berkeley Project, we volunteered at Rosa Parks Elementary School helping out in the schoolyard and garden. We watered the flowers, took apart old wooden barrels, pulled weeds, and cleaned out the pond. The directors were really grateful for our help in making the schoolyard a better learning environment for students. Thanks to everyone who took the time to give back to our community!
