We built benches, tables and planters, as well as digging and planting our new park, adjacent to the Reading Garden.  Everyone, from our fabulous Principal Ms. Sulahian, to our smallest volunteers rolled up their sleeves and worked hard all day long.  It was truly amazing to watch our garden grow throughout the day.

Thank you to Lowe’s Toolbox Grant for funding our dream.  Thank you also to Jill’s Paint, who gave us a discount on our mural supplies, and to The Village Bakery for the yummy goodies donated to our mural painting.  Finally, thank you so much to everyone who helped us build something special that will give back to Glenfeliz students for years to come.

Here is a link to EnrichLA if you would like to make a small donation to help them bring more gardens to local schools.   http://enrichla.org/
